Again, use of weights very impressive Mike. Do you use a pack, belt or some other set up for the added weight?

Chin-ups - alternating unweighted with 5 kg weighted - sets to failure, set + rest = 4 minutes, 8 sets - unweighted were 7 - 5 - 5 - 4; weighted were 3 - 2 - 2 - 2.
24 squats or lunges before and in-between the sets.
I have a stainless steel manual coffee grinder - the outside is quite smooth, making grip an issue as using it involves considerable effort - my partner cannot turn it at all. I discovered some time ago that slightly damp hands grip better than dry hands - have you tried this?
I keep intending to have another go at "hanging" - next time will be with damp hands - I envy your ticking clock - there must be one on the internet that I can find/use.
Pull session earlier.
Seated rows, building up in 5kg increments from 55kg up to 80kg.
Managed sets of 15 up to 70kg, then 12 at 75kg, only 6 at 80kg.
Then 3 x 20 landmine rows at 30kg as a finisher.
Push last night.
Can't remember exact reps/numbers, but it was a combination of dumbell bench press, standing dumbell shoulder press and seated chest press machine.
Pull this morning....
4 x 15 close-grip pulldowns.... 35/40/45/50kg
3 x 18 wide-grip pulldowns @ 35kg
3 x 18 landmine rows @ 35kg
Press-ups - alternating unweighted with 5 kg weighted - sets to failure, set + rest = 4 minutes, 8 sets - unweighted were 23 - 14 - 12 - 11; weighted were 10 - 8 - 8 - 7.
24 squats or lunges before and in-between the sets.
The pack felt particularly heavy today - "Oh dear, tired" again.
Chin-ups - alternating unweighted with 5 kg weighted - sets to failure, set + rest = 4 minutes, 8 sets - unweighted were 7 - 5 - 5 - 4; weighted were 3 - 2 - 2 - 2.
24 squats or lunges before and in-between the sets.
So no change there then - except that I had 2 pairs of socks on rather than bare feet - I was still a bit cold from my run - I did not have the time to snuggle under some blankets for a bit.
A few days away camping in the Moffat hills seems to have helped with the press-ups but set me back on the dead-hangs!!
EMOM - sets of 10 press-ups, floor to lock to floor. Time in secs remaining for each min.
44 - 44 - 44 - 43 - 43 - 42 - 42 - 39 - 39 - 35
Two attempts at the dead hang this morning and the best I could manage (with gloves!!) was 1 min 38 secs.
Needed a quick session this morning, so EMOM 8x8 reps of 10kg per arm shoulder press, times remaining ranged 46-48s. Then, after all this talk about deadhanging i gave it a try. 1min dead hang, seemed very easy, i made sure to recruit my shoulder flexors to remove the strain off the joint.
