Sunday
LBBS worked up to a 120kg single with v.good form
military press 50kg x 4,3

deadlift - felt really in the zone for a PR but accidently loaded 170kg on the bar - flew up with no hesitation. only realised afterwards and then did the same thing again but put 190kg on which i got about 4 inches off the floor. reckon if 180 was on there the first time round i would have had it no problem.

in rage over the deadlifts i gave the core a beasting with hanging leg raises, cable crunches, 1 set of weighted situps and 3 sets per side of suitcase deadlifts with 50kg.

4 plates.. 180kg... WILL happen before the rugby season

Brutal Minimalist Fitness

So today instead of the 12mins of PM swings I did:

50 swings
10 hindu squats
40 swings
20 hs
30 sw
30 hs
20 sw
40 hs
10 sw
50 hs

Didn't time this, and also forgot to do getups before.
But what a great workout, i'm still like jelly. Some of the later squats turned into regular squats because i kept losing balance. Rest periods were very brief, so I was impressed with my performance. All done with 24kg.
