Very stiff in the lower back and left hip this morning so slow to get going.
Feels 1000% better after squatting.
Still feeling tired but most likely from iPhone launch weekend just gone.
Have an extra physio appointment on Wednesday to address last weeks issues but i think we’ve managed to work through them this time.
Still feeling tired but most likely from iPhone launch weekend just gone.
Am ok to continue for now but may be worth keeping in mind how much we ramp up at work over then next 3 months and adjust accordingly like we did last year.

Set 1 – Looking good (Chrissy)
Set 2 – Great job, get the head and chest through quicker (Matt).
Set 3 – Elbows forward on the way down (Mac).
Feeling really good and smooth here today.
Resting 3 minutes.
Lean over more for longer. Heavy toes. Ski jump!
Go smooth rather than slow.
Narrower stance than Deadlift.
Faster off the floor.
Wider feet when receiving the bar on the delts. Think NFL catcher.
Explode up with the hips.
Use a wider grip than Deadlift.
Resting 3 minutes.
Set 1 – Great set. Nice and fast. Move hips and head at the same time (Chrissy).
Set 2 – Keep your knees straighter on the way down.
All good.
Well worth travelling the 3.5 hours to Norwich.
In person still works better than online.
Got back fine thanks to Lynette. She gave me a whole bunch of reading homework to do on the way back. It’s not often I get a couple of hours, unrestricted, with someone of that background.
Need to bring a van full of strongman kit next time.

Resting 2 minutes.
All good.
Moving smooth.
Resting 3 minutes.
One breath on these for the full rep.
Trying to get the press off quickly as the longer the log stays on the chest the greyer and closer the world gets around the edges.
All moved nicely though.
No problems today.
