3 strict, 3 push press, 3 push jerk, 3 split jerk

Big triple PR! 15kg PR (did 325kg last week, was a 10kg PR)

Cheeky out of program 1 RM test today

Heartshocks are back on the menu! These are deceptively rough and I love them. Hitting them with the 200 bag for a few weeks. And grip strength is returning nice and strong with a good 230/hand 80’ carry after 210/hand for 160’. The type of training I needed to feel like I’m back on track. 💪🏻

Shouldered this last year before my appendix went kaboom and gave me gangrene and sepsis (7 months ago). Then had a big battle at Donald Dinnie Day 2026 with it, got it to shoulder there but not steady. Means so much to get this again post-surgery and for the first time with a t shirt too! Just can’t beat the buzz of natural stone lifting. This stone is my namesake stone (I got to name it because I was first to shoulder it) and it resides down at Transition Fitness, Montrose, Scotland for anyone wanting a lift.

First video was me doing pushups back in 2025, and I was struggling. Fast forward to now, I can finally do pushups! This was such a huge goal of mine, and I’m genuinely so happy. I feel so much stronger and I’m really proud of how far I’ve come. Please mind the facial expressions in the first video lol 🤪 😂

This felt relatively easy, so I sent 450+ and got 1005 after this, but it was ugly, very ugly.

Done after three sets of heavy bench press and some seated db shoulder press.

Any tips
