No you're correct. We've a ton in South Wales but this is the first locally. Ditto Lild's etc. I've just come back and bought more of their High Protein meals (30g for £1.89 (about $2.30). All UK supermarkets are now doing these but the Aldi ones caught my eye.

I'll be testing my 1RM on the Hatfield tomorrow. It MIGHT be, as it was previously, a case of X tomorrow and then Y next week. So I'll probably load 350kg/770lbs for a quick single rep then load 390kg/858lbs (it'd be a PB). The first target is 400kg/881lbs and then, if I am having a day of days, 900lbs/409kg (it'll probably be 410kg/902.2lbs).

It'll come down to feel and how well the weight moves.

Aldi is amazing especially for deals on steak and high protein meat and chicken choices, the fruit they carry is typically top notch quality as well. That is awesome you have a better option now for saving money.

They are doing a huge rump steak (not my fave so I didn't buy one) for good money. Lidl's does an expensive - like $20+ (but I've bought it a few times lol) dry aged Tomahawk every so often

Sorry that your squats didn’t go as planned. Shit happens sometimes. If you don’t feel it drop back try to end with a good set or you did a walk out after bombing, did something feel off so u didn’t squat 350kg? You finished it up with accessories though! That’s good!

I'll reset and go again for 4 more weeks. If need be I'll recycle months from now or just switch targets. Can't get stronger for ever
