Full body

Seriously, dude?
Personal training with Paul.

I was about to type that this is my first day back at the gym after a short break, but I only missed 1 day due to illness! Physically, I feel almost 100% back to normal, but my head felt a bit groggy at the start of today's session. However, that cleared up pretty quickly and I was able to stay focused.

Sumo deadlifts:
225 x 3
255 x 3
275 x 3
285 x 3
295 x 3
305 x 3

======

Alternate sets:
Push press: 85 x 3, 95 x 3, 105 x 3, 110 x 0, 110 x 0
Chin-ups (weighted): 25 x 3, 35x 3, 40 x 3, 45 x 3, 50 x 3

Okay, now I'm really getting frustrated at my lack of progress with push presses. At 110lb I was able to just about lockout overhead, but then the bar came straight down again. This is going to require some serious work to start improvement. It's compounded by my consistently increased strength with leg and posterior chain exercises. Some tips here that I might try.

Amrap 5:
5 x dumbbell hang clean and push press @ 35s
5 x pull-ups (strict)
Score = 5 rounds exactly

Bloody hell. Only 5 minutes, but it killed my forearms.
