   My squat is finally up to an empty bar!

   (To be precise, it's at 20kg, the weight of an empty Olympic bar. I didn't have enough space for the added length of an Oly bar, so I've got a 7.5kg powerlifting bar loaded with some modest plates.)

   This is sod all to anyone else, but an achievement for me, due to all the stability-affecting damage my ankles have taken over the years.

   Continuing to work rage of movement on 22.5kg OHP, and bringing deadlift back up from 50kg (I did bodyweight the other day and then deloaded a little to address minor form issues.)

   Lifting soundtrack is Ghost's Prequelle, because I'm playing favourites with @Kitty

   It's not an entirely conventional lifting choice, but it works for me, because I know the album inside out.

     @Kitty Honestly, I bounced off them so many times, but eventually they got me with "so, about the Black Plague". I'll expound in my proper post when I'm done with the entire back catalogue :D

     Lifting's great for lots of reasons, but among them because I spend between 22 and 43 minutes on it ~every morning and then don't need to worry about it for the rest of the day.

     Shout it you ever want me to encourage you to pick up and put down chunks of heavy metal with the same enthusiasm that you encourage people to listen to them. :D

     @HauntedOwlbear It never ceases to amaze me how different music tastes are, even by people whom like the same genre and bands. Thank you for sharing, and continuing to remind me that I really ought to do more exercise 😅
