All done in two hours, including warmup and warmdown. Fatigue.

 
Wednesday's session was kind of mess. I was up at 5am after 4 hours sleep at out all day visiting Manchester, got to the gym at around 8pm and was stiff as fuuuaarrkk. I tried to squat without much warmup and couldn't even get to half depth :(. This means I had to spend over an hour warming up.

Chain squats were on the cards for this night and for some reason my knees were feeling all junky from walking around literally all day so I stuck a pair of knee sleeves on that I borrowed from a bro. I don't think they were comp legal :p

Squats + Chains - 60kg of chains, again only a couple of links on the floor so I'm still calling it 60kg at the top. Probably more like 57-58kg.

Yesterday's training:

31/08/2013

High Bar Squat - Slight pause in the hole
100kgx8
120kgx6
130kgx3
140kgx3 - Belted up from here just to reduce stress on my back.
140kgx3

100kgx6 no pause
100kgx6 only paused last rep

Front Squat - Again, slight pause
80kgx3
100kgx3
100kgx3

OHP
40kgx5
50kgx5
60kgx5
60kgx5
60kgx5
55kgx5
50kgx5
50kgx5

Then did total of about 30mins of various types of cardio. Did some skipping, some rowing and tried out a cross trainer (that was a weird experience, mostly got huge glute pump :eek:).

I'll definitely take the squats heavier next week, for some reason I don't find high bar and front squat anyway near as fatiguing as low bar. This means I can get a huge amount done with them so hopefully I'll get some nice stress free squat gains. This week was just a feeler week for them really.

Also rearranged the gym a little more yesterday, moved the dumbbells back into a corner so that they don't end up all over the platform and under the bench. It still isn't great but it is better.
