No straps mate, haven't used straps in years. I did have some double loop ones that I used on most things but my grip strength has built up over time. Balancing the dumbbell is a challenge as I get fatigued at times, even when I used straps.

Happy with today, although it didn't start too well. Think the green apple pre workout disagrees with my stomach a bit. Lifts went well, stomach was all butterflies and I was definitely a bit jittery.

A/ seated dumbbell press 

1x15 14kg

Happy with dumbbell press, making some progress. 

Triceps extension was good, hit 10 reps on all sets so the weight can go up next week.

Overhead plate raise was as many reps as I could get in 3 attempts with minimal rest. Hit 40 so that's the number to beat next week.

Weight percentages and reps change on the 3 main lifts for next week.

Last week was a bust training wise. Strained my calf at work on the Friday night prior, tightened up over the weekend and took all week to settle down.

Managed 2 upper body workouts and some time on the stationary bike later in the week.

Fresh start today.

Bodyweight 90kg.

29/3/21

A/ squats 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 75%, 85%

65kg x5 

85kg x5 

102.5kg x3 

110kg x5 

132.5kg x5, this was meant to be 127.5kg but I can't add lol.

145kg x8 this felt great today and an increase in reps to boot.

B/ hip thrusts 3x8 130kg, 140kg, 140kg 

C1/ leg extensions 3x8 45 on all sets

C2/ box jumps 3x12 (60cm box)

D/ reverse lunges 3x10 2x12kg kettlebells 

E/kettlebell swing x50 @ 24kg 42 and 8 reps.

Squats felt awesome, best they've been in ages even with the 127.5kg feeling heavy because it was 132.5kg. Last set was great, good rhythm and tempo. A bit gassed though.

Kettlebell swing was good, only needed a very short breather to finish the 50 reps.

Bench felt good, especially 6 on the last but hadn't set up well and my right hand was too wide and slipped further out each rep.

Small weight increases on everything else.

This affects my grip more lol. Don't use straps anymore. I pulled 210kg a million years ago for reps using double loop straps, now I'm just using liquid chalk and going for it.

There are some pics on the first 2 pages of this journal of the results of my shoulder/arm surgeries. 

This my right hand and it's my right shoulder that got the chop. I'm also right handed lol.

Where’s your finger ?

Traumatic amputation of right index finger in 2004 courtesy of a clumsy co-worker and a big saw. I'd imagine it was incinerated.

did you get a decent pay out at least?

I am really sorry that happened to you, you seem so cool about it and never complain.

Not really, I was contracting for myself and they had changed the process for things to a percentage of impairment over your total body. I just scraped in for some cash but it wasn't much. It used to be if you lose X you get Y etc.

Not for the last 3 weeks or so bud. Ended up in ED a little while back, non-gym related and my 13 year old daughter had some internal surgery so been a bit busy with that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ wee clip of my last of 6 rounds to finish off a pull day.

Not much training been happening due to family commitments and injuries, but slowly building some consistency again.

My current playground.
