Also I think I've gotten subconsciously bored with the Starting Strength Program, I love it to bits and would recommend it to anyone, but I think I might give the 5x5 a try when I get back into it!

Haven't been working out much lately, combination of being back at work after 2 months off, already doing night shift, now having two kids under 2 years old and an overall lack of motivation thanks to decreased sleep! Planning to do a bit of a reset and recommence after night shift finishes on the 2...

That's damn good, I couldn't do a single pull/chin up at 113kg body weight and there's no way I could do 3 with 13kg added now!

What is your body weight Robert? Of course +25kg is pretty impressive in my book regardless of body weight, I was just wondering is all!

Wednesday 13th of June: Session 15 (with Reset to Session 13 for Squats and Bench and advance to Session 17 for Deadlifts) 1155 Squats: 2x5x30kg 1x5x50kg 1x3x75kg 1x2x100kg 3x5x125kg Bench Press: 2x5x20kg 1x5x40kg 1x3x55kg 1x2x70kg 3x5x82.5kg Deadlift: 2x5x55kg 1x3x80kg 1x2x115kg 1x5x140kg Pull UPS:...

Squat: 3x5x132.5kg (resetting to 125kg after this as form deteriorated)
Deadlift: 1x5x140kg (Grip was clsoe to faltering on last rep, 145kg might just do me in at this point!)

I'm on to it these days, been on SS for a while now! But as a youth my squat technique was terrible, mostly from the arrogance of youth! Probably why I hated them so much back then!

I wish I'd learned to squat properly before age induced inflexibility set in! If you don't feel comfortable teaching your son how to squat, maybe have a few sessions with a coach/personal trainer to teach him the correct movement?

What I hope the gym in my new home will be like... if it ever gets built!!!
