Liking that milk jug/churn.
Didn't the Mighty Atom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Greenstein) build his initial strength with something like that, every day adding a pebble into it, or some variant around the Milo of Croton myth

I have now trained 6 weeks (just started my 7th week since my last deload) so it's another deload week for me, I feel exhausted and ready for an injury, so I need a light week. Still it was enough to break over the 2,000,000lb mark

20x5, 30x5, 40x5, 60x5, 80x5x5, 70x5, 50x5 = 3,350kg

+7,370= 2,004,973

Similar, new big project at work I'm almost finished with. Then get Astra on Tuesday so I'm planning to be sick until next weekend.

High bar comp. and beltless
+13,230 = 2,247,415

You'll get what you get... but it's reasonably likely you could be back in the gym Thursday. Good luck!

Actually I changed my mind at the last minute and didn't take it.

High bar pause squats
+11,819 = 2,268,034

Perhaps you should go back and get the vax, just to avoid the BS that can happen if you don't have it

Monday evening I twisted round and reached over to pickup something in an awkward way and had a very sharp pain in back (lower thoracic) this morning did 1x5 working set SQ not 5x5 as it felt like it would stir it up, did 1 rep of my OHP at working weight - I could feel it was trouble so bailed on that too, did no pullups DL or other stuff

Maybe light cardio only until Monday now, sorry!

Only +4,840lbs today = 2,272,874
