Think tinted/smoke tail lights would go mint with that.

I have had a similar feeling doing leg curls, always insure your calves are stretched out. When you leg curl you will notice the higher you go in the curl, the more your feet/toes point up causing your calves to tighten. Pointing your feet down a little will help counteract this, but make the lift harder. What other exercises are you doing? try do any balance work near a wall, so you can catch or assist yourself if needed. Like I said, try not to push through any pain.

Had a semi decent leg session yesterday. As some of you now I have only just started getting back in to ATG Squats, this is what I went 60x10, 100x10, 130x10, 140x12, 100x10, which makes me 1RM 202~. I'll probably bump everything up by 10kgs for the next session and see how we do. Also have started doing single leg hack squats (10 a leg x 4 after squats) which give quite a decent burn. Single leg leg press still has a bit of go, managed to get up to 160kg, was pressing 200kg single leg prior to surgery. Chest today, might try a set of 150kg if I'm feeling it, if not definitely 140kg.

Managed 200x8 on the deads tonight, so one more rep than last week, think it was more untapped potential than a strength gain. Also felt easier than last week (was pretty light headed then). 100x10 140x10 170x10 200x8 140x10 Stiff Leg DL

I could feel one brewing during my deads.

Had a semi decent back session. For deads went: 100x10 140x10 170x10 200x7 140x10 Was expecting to get to 10 reps at 200, but didn't realise that still gives me a 240kg 1RM, so I'll keep working away at it and try and get to 10 reps in the next 6 or so weeks (before heading to Thailand for a family wedding + holiday). Second leg session tomorrow, still easing my way back in to ATG squats though.

I don't like to calculate 1RM on anything repped over 10 times. Calculators tend to get less accurate the more reps you do. When I can get to 140kgx9 unassisted I'll count the 180 1RM haha. I was the same after my first reco. But doing rehab at the gym mulitple times a week soon changed my thoughts on leg day!

Only Olympic bars for me. On another note, thought I'd test out how many times I could rep 100kg on the bench, I had previously done 18 reps a few times. Managed 24!! This was on my second set, I generally rep it out after4-5 sets.

I think realistic goals for me this year (pending weight loss) B 180kg S 230kg DL 260kg

Strength training has been a large part of my life thanks to rugby for the last 10-11 years, so it's been a long journey to get to these weights, considering how many people are hitting the gear these days! This year is all about getting as strong as I can at hopefully 100kg (eventually).

Bench 170kg 1RM, If I can get to 185kg, I'll probably stop about there.

I got you on that one with 115kg Currently sitting at 112.0kg, came down from 116.6kg from the last 4-6 weeks. Really want to get to 105kg by April 24th (heading to Thailand for a family wedding then holiday).

Whats your average speed?

Yeah on the deadlifts. Went to 190x5 raw, when my grip failed. Strapped up for the 220 lift.
