Still a long way to go
Yesterday's squatting session was delayed until the heat of today's lunchtime. Despite the drop in weight (down again to 50%) and the high box (aka bench) it was a tiring session.

Quick Z-squat session
After noticing this morning that Kris recently tried a few Zercher squats off the floor, I decided to sample similar delights from the lowest pins in the rack - as far down as I can get at the moment. This puts the plates about 14cm/5.5" off the ground.

Return of the Zercher dead
It's been a while since I've done these. If you've never had the pleasure, it's just a deadlift with the bar held the same way as Zercher squats. The hard part is getting down low enough to start - even with the bar starting at the lowest setting on the rack (plates a few inches off the ground) and with a stance as wide as possible within the rack it was hard work. After a few sets I was drowning in a pool of sweat.

Band benching in the heat
As Edinburgh braces itself for this weekend's protest against poverty (in Africa, not here), I set about doing a spot of band benching. The heat was draining, and I decided to leave the scheduled tricep work until the cool of the evening.

Lightening strikes twice
After nearly three years of living in Edinburgh I still can't get used to the fact that it occasionally gets hot here. Today was one of those uncomfortably warm and humid days where the promise of a cooling storm goes unnoticed for 12 hours.
