Went to see the doctor today about my umbilical hernia, she checked it out, advised me it wasn't that bad so no point in doing surgery yet unless it starts to get painful. I will carry on as is in that case.
 
Did she make that recommendation with the knowledge that you will be deadlifting 220kg and squatting 200kg in the near future?
 
Keep an eye on that shit bro. If it goes you'll know about it!

She asked how much I was lifting and if I planned to go any heavier, to which I said "of course", but she recommended strengthening my core / stomach muscles more so they will be able to cope with the load.
 
Yeah I will, if it does happen I just hope it's when I'm at home, 2 miles from hospital rather than when I'm alone in London.

Worst case scenario you can push it back in and hold it in while you make your way to hospital.

I will chalk this horrific failure up to lack of sleep, lack of food, the heat (@daken7) and generally feeling a little under the weather. Probably shouldn't have trained, but hey ho.
 
At least you did a bit and working up to 157.5kg isn't awful, the pressing looks good, too.

Yeah I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I rarely miss my prescribed reps so it's bound to happen every now and then.
