Thanks! Hopefully just like all the other reasons we're here (improved strength, body composition, develop discipline, etc), sleep improves too. I do think I'm getting better at managing it.
Been there and done that. Lately it seems I really have to double check my weights - have been misloading a little too often
Good job listening to your body and finding the balance between pushing yourself and protecting yourself from injury.

Glad to hear you`re doing well mate.
Listening to my body is something I`ve more or less been forced to do as I get older. Mentally I want to power through and ignore things but through bitter experience it just sets me back so far compared to when I was in my 20's. It is what it is."The hardest part in lifting, is NOT to lift..." - Me

This was a hard session. Everything moved ok but took close to 2 hours.
FRAME CARRY
200kg
3x15m run (x2)
Still sitting around 16 seconds on average so I can`t complain here.
FRAME HOLD

Just under 40 seconds. Ouch. Felt heavy on the pickup
CAR DEADLIFT

200kg x18 (45 seconds)
ATLAS STONE

In around 6:30 but there was a lot of buggering around with the tacky. 5 minutes is probably more accurate tbf. Doubles felt fairly comfortable."The hardest part in lifting, is NOT to lift..." - Me

Had to take a few days as had some soft tissue damage. Something about my thoracic spine but it was affecting even standing up straight. Got some work done on it yesterday and it`s loosened off somewhat. If it was a 10 on Tuesday, it`s a 2/3 now.
AXLE C&P
90kg 3x1 continental clean
I really need to use the continental clean during my warmup. I keep warming up with full cleans then switching to continental on my working sets so it takes me a couple of reps to get into the groove. Last rep was probably the best.

20 seconds between sets, somewhere around 3 minutes.

Did some Highland Games stuff yesterday for the first time ever. Not gonna lie, feeling it today, especially in the upper back. Did weight for distance, shot putt, hammer throw and caber toss. Loads of fun but yeah, definitely hitting me today so just hit the highlights. Lower back still a bit tight but more a DOMS feeling than anything.

My lats were on fire after the bench and RDL. No idea if that`s good or bad but I can quite honestly say I`ve never felt them independent of anything else like this. Not sure if it`s a combination of yesterday and today but definitely feeling it and a single chin up could not be had today.

This was brutal today. Spent the morning moving office furniture from a loft down two flights of stairs so that probably contributed. It`s one in the bag but not a brilliant session overall. Still, I`ll probably sleep well tonight.
AXLE C&P
90kg 2x1 continental clean
Clean was very tired then missed the third rep. Queue lots of swearing. Came back and got 1 more rep for a total of 3.
70kg 5x3. Used continental clean all through, try and get into the groove with it.
20 seconds between sets, somewhere around 5 minutes.

Again, all continental clean.

Another very hard session. Still feeling it a bit from yesterday I think. Everything moved well (ish) but felt heavier than it would normally.
FRAME CARRY
200kg
30m (turn at 15) x3
Supposed to be four runs but my first was about 18 seconds so not a good start. Legs just felt heavy. Second run was about 17 and third I hit around 16 so called it there.
FRAME HOLD
260kg x 40 seconds. RPE probably a 9. PR
Pickup actually felt ok.
CAR DEADLIFT
220kg 2x10
Being super careful on this as this is what did my back last week so skipped the AMRAP. Did lots of warmup. Reps felt ok. Really trying to focus keeping my hips under me"The hardest part in lifting, is NOT to lift..." - Me

Short session today
FAT DB
My circus DB had to be returned to it`s rightful owner. Loaded up the fat DB but it just wasn`t sitting right at all and the clips are getting in the way.
40kg 1x6 each arm
Swapped down to standing strict DB
28kg 3x6 each arm
Not sure if this achieves the same thing but.
105kg ATLAS STONE
6 reps in under a minute which I think is a PB. Happy with that."The hardest part in lifting, is NOT to lift..." - Me

Much better this week. Had some chat with a couple of the guys that are doing the comp and the general consensus seems to be that sleeves on axle are not a good idea and restrict the clean so I binned them today and lo and behold I hit every clean easy.

Really tough session. One last workout tomorrow then deload week.
FRAME CARRY
200kg
30m (turn at 15) x4
Happy with these. All around 16 seconds and I think the last one was just under 16 seconds. I don`t see me getting any faster over 30m but if I can maintain this speed with another 50kg it should be good points.
FRAME HOLD
Tore a callous on the frame so had to skip this.
CAR DEADLIFT
220kg x5, x3, x8
First two sets the blocks were too far forward stopping me getting my legs into it. Third set I was just gassed. Weight felt comfortable but the positioning let me down a bit."The hardest part in lifting, is NOT to lift..." - Me

Just did a comfortable hold. Didn`t want to screw my grip for the runs.
