Been a good week at uni, fully enjoyable lessons.
Managed to high box squat 120kg during one of the S&C classes,

forward. Still not going to push it for a few weeks.

Pull is easy my favourite day of the week and this was a good
one, Nice to get things moving and feel like less of a fat siht.
Not much to say, everything moved smoothly and the session went
well.

Not that you can ever diagnose via internet but what’s up with
the knee? Symptoms?
[/quote]
Its an ongoing issue for the last couple of years.
I used to do olympic weightlifting, so high intensity and
frequency on squats, and also trained and completed the national
three peaks. During that my knee started acting up and I pushed
through to get the 3ps done and out of of the way.
The symtoms are:
A lack of strength from the bottom of the squat, i went from
squatting 170kg one week to getting stuck under an empty bar the
next week. Can't move any weight from the bottom of a squat. But
no loss of power from quads/hammies/glutes in any isolated
movements.
Been through plenty of ideas what it could be
glutes/hips/quads/hammies, the current theory is that its one of
the tendons behind my knee thats the problem.

I'd forgotten with everything going on that you still had
studying to do. Sounds like you do at least have that to hang a
positive hat on right now

That’s tough dude. I always ask just in case it’s similar to
mine as I’ve managed to come back from it. Yours sounds very
different though mate. 170kg squat is awesome though mate!
My squatting days are long behind me. Now and again I’m stupid
enough to try it and get reinjured. Gotta listen to the body
sometimes!

Honestly fellas, I think the break up is what best for both of
us. It's just going to land me in a tricky situation regarding
housing, unless I get lucky. I don't want to end up in a house
share, and job hunting is a ballache, been looking for 4 months,
no one wants to hire a 32 year old student with a violent
criminal record it seems. Although on paper I seem like a catch
It very much feels like a past life is trying to weigh me down,
but I'm gunna keep moving and getting on with it.

Yesterday was weekly check in: Thought I'd posted it here but I
cant see it.
100.3 kg. Hilariously the first time i weighed myself today i
was 103.75, realised i hadn't done a poo and then weighed myself
again. Lost over half a kilo, guess my ex was right....I am full
of siht :D
Haven't slept well all week, recovery was rough and i pulled my
trap in my sleep one night and that hasn't sorted itself out
yet, even so weighing in less than i did two weeks ago. So it's
not all bad. Am keen to lose weight now
Happy to be weighing what i am after last weekends shenanigans.

This split could well be the turning point,when I split from my
Mrs tbh it took a while but then everything went from strength
to strength and now never been happier.
Over 1/2 kg in a sh1t is good going lol.
Looking good dude still heading along the right path.

do, but now never been happier and honestly looking forward to
our life together.

You can see the potential for that waist to come right in and
everything else to just explode out from it
