    Went to gym.

    Free weights area had changed. I changed, envisioning more machines and the typically useless **** you get in Japanese gyms (maybe elsewhere too).

    Found it's twice as big as it was, AND it has a big fat spanking squat rack!

    Happy.

    See ya.

    Discovered wave loading.

    Broke three previous plateaued PRs in three sessions training (six days) - squat, bent-over row, dead.

    Admittedly, could barely lift my kit bag on the next session... I think the three seshes of PRs and working to failure hit me harder than I thought, and I don't really think my current average of five hours sleep a night really constitutes a 'recovery period' as such, but still.

    And loving the squat rack.

    Update

    As some of you know (it's in this thread too) about three years ago I couldn't lift my arms or my head or tie my own shoelaces. The quacks gave me painkillers and told me I'd never be able to do any exercise again. I chucked away the painkillers and looked up a load of stuff, including asking a lot of stupid questions of the likes of GDA, Sanjuro, Oso and the usual gang on here, and buying a book a still strongly recommend, New Rules Of Lifting by Alwyn Cosgrove and Lou Schuler.

    Two days ago I cleanly quarter squatted 160 kgs for two reps. I weigh 79. It's only a quarter squat but I can see myself going ATG with the same weight before the next couple of months are out. I am largely pain free.

    Just thought I'd pop in to give y'all an update and a big thank you for everyone who's answered my stupid questions, and of course KFM and the shaolin temple.
