Legs on the top sets didnt have too much mustard in em (perhaps due to a newly implemented stringent diet and starting to bicycle this week) but the form felt better than it has in a long time. All those internal hip rotator exercises are starting to pay off!

Still chugging away @golvmopp, good stuff mate!

My numbers aren't near what they used to be in most lifts but over the past year in particular I've made a lot of progress in terms of psychological flexibility and planning and acting through a long-term perspective. I wanted to see progression every session before, and could fold like a lawn-chair if a workout didnt pan out as expected. That's not a particularly healthy outlook to have if you wanna remain functional as you age, so my new priorities are consistency and pre-/rehab for the many ailments and nagging injuries I've accumulated with interest over the years. That shit racks up a progressive debt quickly!
