Ha, thanks.
Volume ok so far but it is early days and I’m going at the higher end while I can hopefully it carries on. I’m also aware that I’m just getting back into squats again after over a month off so thngs should be ramping up quite quickly.

dropped distance to 30m on hills to stay under 7 sec.
Had planned on doing squats but on warmup set felt the very slightest of twinges on the side of my lower back. I am sure it will be ok but I am injury phobic right now so changed to upper body and will probably do lower tomorrow pre bike.

back close but not quite 100% so didn’t do squats and didn’t push it too much on SLDL. Expect it to be right in next few days.

THE INSTANT COFFEE DRINKER - These are cheerful, straight forward types, who like a laugh and live by the maxim “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. But instant coffee drinkers can be unadventurous in their careers and need to let others see the hidden depths in their personality. The no-nonsense instant coffee drinker is allergic to pretentious behaviour, say James and Moore, and they are likely to keep their socks on during sex.
THE BLACK COFFEE DRINKER - This type is all about minimalism and takes a no-frills, direct approach to life.
The black coffee drinker can be quiet and moody but prone to brief bursts of extroversion. “A difficult but potentially rewarding friend, colleague or partner,” James and Moore conclude.
Not so sure about the socks bit…………………… :rolleyes:

Although some of the reps were a bit out of sync pleased to do a session on the flat with absolutely no leg issues 
Was going to do squats @ 95 x 5 x 5 but got to 4 on 1st set and decided to up to 8…a nice surprise
Great job, John!
Have you ever been this strong on your squats before? Oh, and how long is each set taking you? Are you staying far clear of failure?
Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Heck yes today’s estimated 1RM is only 120kg, pre Christmas I was up to 110 x 3s x 5r (128) and that was after cleans and s/setted with an upper body exercise, and I think about 3-4 months prior 120 x 3r (132).
Hmmm today about 40 sec from memory. I am fastidious about rests but don’t really track set time.
Not far clear but not at failure.

vid of squats
You know, this is the first time I’ve ever really seen you squat. You’ve got a very unique form. Not great depth, but you’ve still got a lot of flexion at the hip. Where do you find you usually get sore?
