And somehow I seem to have forgotten to post the comment I wrote. Whoops.
I'm temporarily off overhead squats (one of my new favourite lifts) because I bruised one wrist while climbing. But I can now TGU my heaviest kettlebell with 2 extra kg strapped to it, which entitles me to happy contemplation of more toy purchases.
My bench press continues to be terrible, but I've worked out that my shoulders are much happier if I do my push-ups on my knuckles (palms facing), so hopefully I'll finally be able to develop some push strength that way.
My back squat continues to show small but steady signs of improvement. I'm practicing one-legged squats onto a box. And my deadlift is nearing bodyweight-and-a-half, which would make me very happy.
As a free bonus with the climbing, my number of pull-ups is slowly increasing without my having to put any extra effort into training them. I've started noodling around with tuck front levers.
And I've done my first ever Cossack squat, and set a new personal record for the elbow plank! \o/
