Drenched in sweat, not enough air to talk and breath, legs jelly, uncomfortable pump everywhere. Strong making triples cardio. Body wanted to quite after the 4th round. Also wanted to be sick.

RIP

Easy, all done in under 20 mins. Felt like I could have done 20 in the first set.

Last rep of each set paused. Actually would review this as "good".

Machine row

Pump

A weird thing has happened. I feel less tight all around my hips compared to when I started. How has this happened?

:D it just doesn't make sense. I guess I'm just generally far less broken recently.

Barely any DOMS in my legs today. I would have snuck a short deadlift session in if I wasn't busy.

Phil has become even more of an enigma, only mentioned in quiet whispers...

Getting heavier, but still easy. I'm able to smash through the sets very quickly, although I did give myself the luxury of a slightly longer rest today (didn't count, but still well under 5 mins). I might up the weights slightly next week, but only if it stays as comfortable.

Again, really nice benching. I've found it a bit easier to coordinate lower trap/lats/serratus/tricep/scap everthing, and if I can continue to strengthen this pattern then there is hope that I can make my bench non-terrible.

Deadlifts
70
110
150
180
Just keeping the movement pattern ticking over. Still pretty fast considering.

Between Dom pulling out with his ankle sprain and the hotel cancelling last minute I was faced with a solo drive up past Lincoln. Set out early on Sunday, got stuck in over an hour's worth of traffic due to motorway closure just south of Leicester and missed weigh in. Very annoying, but I will be there next year.

I'm possibly looking to compete this month, but I need to make sure I'm definitely available.

I felt these, but they were still fast and pretty comfortable

Similar to squats. Weight choices have proven to be pretty good.

The end is in sight! Feeling remarkably fresh, if moving a little slowly. I almost feel like I could do my next session tomorrow... I NEED to find time for some upper back work though.
