5 day old chicken from the fridge must be so dry it absorbs your face.

Had just under an hour to train tonight so got some squats and paused bench in. Wasn't feeling triples on the paused bench, not sure why, so did a couple doubles.
Squats were pretty bad. Realised after I'd finished that my stance was too narrow this time which was loading my knees. After paused bench I went back into the squat rack and did 2 sets of paused squats with the correct stance, much better. I think I'll take the rest of the week off for legs, they are feeling pretty fatigued.
Squats
70x10
85x8
100x5
130x4
150x5 - easy
160x5 - weight was fine and went up quickly, but I was fatigue quickly too.
Pause Bench
BARxlots
60x5
80x3
100x3
120x1
140x2 - nice long pause.
140x2 - 2nd rep was pretty slow but not stalling.
Paused Squats
120x4
120x3 - felt good, but still struggling to fire glutes out of the hole.

Good work. I was nearly stalling on 80kg squats 
Thanks. I'm not sure if I should go back to some normal bench press for a while then revisit paused bench?
True. I really need to structure my training a little better, but it's hard at the moment with no car. Fingers crossed that won't be an issue later this week.
I'll trade you some bench for some squat kk?

Yeah defrosted chicken isn't nice, tastes like mush.
Just get some decent tubs and it's fine. I've eaten chicken that's as old as a week that's been stored properly, and as long as it was cooked properly in the first place, it's absolutely fine

Yeah I put mine in plastic tubs, seems fine to me. But then I'm not an overly fussy eater
Deads
80x10
110x8
140x6 - may have been 7, lost count.
170x3
200x5 - 5th rep I was fatiguing so it was harder to recruit the muscles to keep it tight. That's the main reason I didn't do a 2nd set of this.
Weight Chins - Neutral Grip
BWx6
20x4
30x3
40x3
50x2 - lol wut?! 2nd rep was a grind but the guns held out.
DB Rows
50x15/10
50x10/10
50x10/10
Foam rolling. Mother of god my right lumbar is super tender. Also my legs made me shed a small tear, so painful.
Couldn't hit decent reps on the rows due to the chins.

Neutral grip is a sexy grip
