Yeah, I just don't like the idea of deliberately doing a heavy loaded exercise in an asymmetric way, even if I can counteract it by switching up the grip.

Getting used to hook grip while the weights are still low would be sensible -- good shout.

Jogged to gym ~1mile

Bench press (thumb's length from inside knurling)
40kg x 5
60kg x 1 [heh]
50kg x 5
45kg x 5,6,4
^^^ worked in with someone, and since I haven't benched since restarting I kind of guessed at things. Will be more sensible next time [i.e. probably do work sets at 45 or 47.5]

Deadlift
60kg x 3
70kg x 3 [paused these reps 2 inches of the floor to cue good form and quad drive]
80kg x 7
90kg x 2 [just to see how this would go. my grip strength isn't great and i refuse to go over-under, so i will need to look for my straps too when i visit home]

Chinup BW x 2 [i guess deadlifts are hard on one's back? who knew]

High incline DB press [like 60 degrees]
10kg x 10
14kg x 7 [switched to neutral grip]
12kg x 6,5
10kg x 8

Lat pulldown
32kg x 14
39kg x 10
45kg x 7

Prone leg curl [spent a while trying to work out how to get this machine properly set up for me, did these to get extra volume since not much leg stuff done with only a couple DL sets]
36kg x 8
32kg x 7 [actually remember to cue glutes and keep pelvis tucked, like in strict for natural GHRs and this became much harder]
23kg x 7

Seated rows [neutral grip]
32kg x 10, 8
25kg x 9, 8

Supersetted:
Back hyperextension - BW x 10,10,10
Facepull - something light x 10,10,10 [I think I wasn't doing this quite with classic form]

Notes
Nice workout. Actually eating breakfast beforehand is helpful. This is also quite a lot of volume, I suppose, but I'm feeling up for it, so we shall see.

Various bodyweight/mobility things through the day. Plenty of pushups, planks and such, since i know i won't be able to get to the gym tomorrow.

does stuff just get to romania later even with the whole internet thing?

I don't care about what is "new". What I care about is what I like. It could be a 40 year old song and I would still like it. So cut the arrogant western crap.

lol I was genuinely just wondering if those songs only just became popular in Romania. I've seen you post a lot of older stuff...

One thing i've recently been doing when my knees feel wonky is doing a compression around the muscles near the knee. I just wrap some rubber bands fairly tight around my calves and hams/quads for about 1 min, do a bit of a stretch to fill the area with blood, then move my way down the leg. Makes my knees feel good. Something to try perhaps, it's pretty amazing how good it feels in an instant. People use rubber tubing from bicycle tyres, i just use my bands.

huh, cool.
