Good progress Brig! I found deadlifts strangely addictive.

I've booked a PT session for Saturday - my last PT session was the first week in January before my life changed! I feel like I've lost a lot of what id developed but in reality I've missed 4 months of weekly sessions and hoping I can get back into a routine and do my own structured gym sessions. I really want to get back into it but may be limited in what chest/ upper body weights I can do with the internet producing all sorts of scenarios that can happen to the leads from my little box that sits on my chest wall. i reckon I can do a decent leg session anyway :)

Push press. I am finding this very hard going! I know my shoulders are pretty feeble so hopefully this will improve but right now I feel a proper lightweight!

I'm a bit under the weather but I had a go at an event that needs strength, speed, flexibility and balance this evening. Completely new to me... the hammer!

It struck me that a kettlebell queen - like .B. would be really good at it. All that twirling a heavy metal object above your head!

I've just blogged. Should have written more detail but I'm really tired.

First PT session in 17 weeks today - back in a 60kg deadlifts and same for hip thrusts. Surprised myself at how good technique was and how relaxed it felt.

Another part of getting my life back :)
