Squats
Still can't squat
Did 4 sets of 25 reps of weird stance leg pressing with my knees out as far as possible to try and get some blood through my adductors. Kind of worked. Did loads of stuff with bands and lots of stretching.
Short rest paused bench
bar x lots
60x8
80x4
100x3
110x1
115x4
110x4
110x4
110x4
120x3 why do these reps feel harder? Is the bar misloaded? Yes, yes it is. Did 2 reps of 110 immediately to compensate
110x4
110x4
Well these weren't getting any harder so I stopped there. It's fair to say that bench has improved! These are still meant to be easy sets, and I only stopped the 120 set on the 3rd rep because it felt different. Some kind of stupidity rep PB
Pull throughs
some x some
OHP (all strict)
bar x 10
40x6
70x6 PB
62.5x6
62.5x6

Gains! Feels so strange and alien to set any kind of pressing PB.
Bench
70x22 fatigue!
Lateral raises (<60 second rest)
7.5x25
7.5x20
Face pulls

If you ignore the squatting, it was a great session. However, I can't ignore the squatting![Frown :( :(](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/frown.gif)
