Good work Mr Milk!

Good work Mr Milk!

Thanks, Uncle.

Was planning on getting another 5k run in today, and possibly some extra overhead pressing, but I am fried after yesterday's deadlift and bench session and this also led to a poor night's sleep. I think I will hit the sauna instead today, refuel on curry and beer tomorrow, and then get a good squat session in on Sunday.

In other news, today is my last day at work until the 25th!

You're working Christmas day?!

Does the long distance cardio have a negative impact on squat/DL much, or are you accustomed to it?

Yeah, it sucks, but I'll probably just log on from home so I can at least spend time with my family.

I've only just started up with the running again. Will limit it to 2 x 5k a week, which I don't consider that much of a long distance. I think if I'm smart enough with my timing, I should be OK with progressing with squat and deadlifts. We'll see.

Was meant to do 5/3/1 squats, but the power rack in the gym was being used by 2 guys, who were doing, of all things - squats. Not only squats, but squats with decent form, with one guy going ATG. As this is such a novelty, I thought I would leave them to it and not ask to work in, instead did a 20 minute treadmill run and then some military press work.

I plan on hitting the gym later tonight and getting those squats in.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Great job with the military presses! These are becoming my obsession.

Good day today - feasted on roast chicken and leftover gammon joint cooked in Coca-Cola, watched the Klitschko documentary dvd and then the first qualifying round of this year's World's Strongest Man on TV.

What were you squatting in before?

 

[MilkManUK]

What were you squatting in before?

Espadrilles. They were surprisingly OK.

Brogues would have been better for a more formal gym.

Agreed. Sturdy.

What is gammon exactly. This british guy who makes sausage and bacon, also makes this stuff (sells it here) and gave my buddy a sample of it. But said you have to soak it for three hours before cooking. So is it like salt pork or like a pork chop? I am deciding if I should try one or just spend that money on more bangers. Those things were damn good
