I've made that mistake doing atlas stones, Gus - leaves some horrific bruises! 😬

I broke the zipper on a hoodie doing clean and jerk so learnt my lesson that way.
I think I'm finally back fully engaged in the gym now. Shame it happened while I have a running injury, but at least I can lift without issue.

I'll go back to my agricultural shock absorbers for upper body days in future.

I tried to climb a rope at CrossFit last night. It turns out, that’s hard...(funnily enough, no one progressed to the ‘weighted rope climb’, but tbh holding up my own body weight was enough.)

I got to within 5kg of squatting 1.5 times my bodyweight 5 times yesterday (5 rep PB) which I'm quite happy about.
Using one rep max calculators, this apparently just gets me into intermediate on the standards in about thread with quite a lot of work (which I'm unlikely) to do to get to advanced (3 kg less than 2 x bodyweight) 
Definitely easier to make progress while not running. Would be nice if I could get to a point where I could lift 1.5 bodyweight for 5 reps while in full winter running training.

Interestingly, my squat has almost caught my current deadlift strength which was 1.5 times bodyweight on Tuesday (I've done a little more previously).

Everyone abandoned the gym? Mine was very quiet today. Thinking it might be shut within a couple of weeks.
Squatted 1.5 bodyweight for the second time today after doing it two weeks ago Friday. Definitely not ready to do more for 5 reps and probably need to do a little below that for a few weeks.
Started thinking about 2 x bodyweight deadlift this week, it's not imminent though.

My gym currently has a roll of carpet occupying most of the space, though VP has managed to work around it and do some weights this week.

My gym is still open too and working hard to up their already high hygiene standards, so no qualms in supporting them.
I dragged myself in this morning feeling tired and very down but left with a bounce in my step and a grin on my face after having a great PT session. Got my name on the Wins Of The Week board for the first time achieving 3x6 pull ups with good form
