Comments:

Squats were very difficult but I managed to get two sets of 5, with the last set of 3. So, progress. I still have a right adductor injury so my squat strength is not the best. Bench press was like the last time - the last set is very difficult, failure happens at the right elbow. I tried with different bar grip widths but still not sure which to use.

RDLs and leg curls were great, with the caveat that it's still very difficult to hold the bar in my hands. I had to use mixed grip with 80 kg (although to be fair, you do stay with it for quite a while, being an 8 rep set).

Heart rate was a bit better, it went towards ~150 after my deadlift sets but after the squats I think it was at about 140 or so.

Crazy stuff

I have terrible chronic neck pain in the cervical area and thoracic "squeezing pain" as I sleep. No luck with any doctor, they're useless. They look at the MRI, don't see much, so their conclusion is "you're imagining it!". They can't say "I'm just incompetent and I don't care", so they blame it on you. It's very convenient when you think about it.

MRI says tendinosis on both Achilles.

Anyway, I went today in the park and had three dunks on the small rim.

Went in the park and played some 3-on-3. Did some dunks on the small rim, tried two dunks on 10 feet, was very very close on one of them. I have terrible Achilles tendinitis in both feet and left home with stinging in the right Achilles. Will need to take a long break from everything.

Here's a dunk at the 2.88m rim from today:
