Gym:

OHP(alternating regular,BTN)
20kg*5,5
30kg*5,5
40kg*5,5,5,5,5,5

Some more heavily assisted left arm pullups, some (I think they're called) Bulgarian split squats. Few inverted rows, bit of shoulder mobility stuff, front raises etc. A while on the vibraty machine. Short bunch of cardio (200 steps on the stepper, 100 at level 10, 100 at level 15), 500m erg (1:43 ish). All good.

Bit of tennis Saturday morning. Football at lunch today - loads of running, very hot. Painful.

Gym:
Squat
50kg*5
80kg*5
100kg*5
110kg*5
115kg*5
120kg*1

OHP
20kg*5
30kg*5
42.5kg*5,5,5,5,5,5(alternating regular, BTN)

Some curls and shoulder bits and stuff. Some sorta inverted row things and some pullups. That was probably about it. Squats were alright, although my calves were done from football. At 120kg, I got down, crumpled forward a bit onto the bars, decided I wasn't having that and squatted it up. Didn't think I had any others though. Need to sit back more I think (and probably not be in my running shoes..)
How can you squat in running shoes dude? Just do it barefoot if you must!

Pretty easily. I'm pretty sure I engage my calves way too much anyway (due to not sitting back enough), so it's not enormously different.

Hockey match yesterday and today. Far too hot, but not too unfit.

Bunch of messing around for mobility stuff, some pullups, few curls. 500m erg - 1:40.2. Was on 1:35 for the first 250m but then my hangover slightly kicked in. Felt pretty powerful though, the 1:35 pace was much easier than I expected...will aim to post a sub 1:35 500m soon...

Football at lunch. Hockey match just now. Unacceptably warm. Not too horrendously unfit, but hard to tell in this weather.

26kg*5,5
24kg*5,5,5
22kg*5,5
20kg*5

Squat
60kg*5
100kg*5
105kg*5,5,2

Some curls, abs, reverse fly things. 1k erg in 3:27.8.
Was gonna OHP but the bars were in use for aages. Think the DB press is about right, but I basically did lots. Squats weren't too bad, but I realised I was in bad shorts for them. Last set I felt the stitching in my shorts start to tear so left it. Pretty pleased with the erg. Might be capable of slightly faster, but I'm not sure.
