Monday 2nd July
Back Squat
5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5
Colin – 100 – 120 F(4) – 120 – 122.5PB – 100
Previous PB for 5 reps was 120, so it was alarming to fail to match that on the 2nd round. It does look silly when you have 120kg on a bar and put 2 x 1.25 polos on the end! 
Tuesday 3rd July
3 rounds :
50 Squats
30 KBell Swings 20kg
20 Press Ups.
Colin – 14:27
I surprised myself with this time. Because the 2 people either side of me finished sub 10min, and where I was in the gym, I wasn’t able to see anyone else working, so was convinced I was way behind when by the end of the 2nd round, I was already having to break the squats down to sets of just 5. Virtually the whole 3rd round was sets of 5 squats, and push ups were down to 2′s and 1′s by the end.
I was amazed when I realised I’d finished before Steve and Richard! I fear the freak result, if only for what it will mean for the next time this workout comes round.

Hi Colin,
My father’s name is Colin McNulty. He is an example of what can happen with smoking, a bad diet and no exercise one’s entire life. He is now 74 and after years of digestive problems he had to have a radical colostomy last year. He also has deep vein thrombosis which swells and purples his legs, and he’s on heart meds. He is a living example of how NOT to treat one’s body. Perhaps your readers will sympathize with me having a touching moment of irony while visiting this blog.

Sorry Mike, just saw this comment. Thanks for stopping by, sorry to hear about your Dad. How is he?
Colin
