Brig -I am nowhere near puny....  I wish I were a bit less chunky..
Deadlift Gold goal - coach got 2 x 50kg cast iron plates so the goal is to get them on the 20kg bar and get that sucker off the floor! Given my bodyweight, that wouldn't even be a great result but I am DESPERATE to get there.
Thanks for that push press link, SPR - I was worried that my feet weren't staying flat but it seems I am getting the required leg drive and that's what's happening.

Ah PT had me doing box squats last week - had to lower to the box (and mats on top), then ease the pressure off my quads, before getting back up - he had to rescue me twice when I couldn't stand up again by myself!

Oh crikey not sure I am brave enough for those then idle_wilder (but probably will anyway)
After watching the push press link video I can honestly say my own push presses this evening were improved 😃

Did box squats at 40kg again tonight, and didn't have to be rescued once (came close a couple of times though!). Deadlifted from floor up to 70kg again, but obviously didn't have glutes properly engaged - feeling top of glutes/hips now (not lower back exactly, but where bum kind of meets back?).

I was so pleased to read about Eddie's success, Lammo. But yes, no TV coverage until the 20th December.

I joined a gym at the start of May because I'd heard that the Pilates classes were good. They really are and it's well worth the £15 a month membership. I've been intrigued and scared in equal measures by the acres of weight training kit that I have to walk pass to get to the class so today I booked a PT session. She showed me the equipment I needed, how to use it, what weights to use and gave me a plan for the next four weeks. There are definitely some proper hardcore people there (the PT is one of them) but when I looked a bit closer, there are some normal looking people there too I came away feeling positive and the feelings of intimidation have gone. And I'm on a mission to do a chest press with more than just the bar (20kgs without weights) before the next time I see her...
