The light bulb is normal, it's the infrared heat lamp that's red
Haven't done shoulders in 3-4 weeks so was fun. Short rests and strict reps.

60x8 - a touch too heavy, especially as I did lots of benching yesterday.

Lateral Raises

Super strict, nice contraction at the top.

Standing 1-arm shoulder press
14x10/10
16.5x10/10
19x9/10
19x9/9
These are fantastic, especially when you lock the core in and resist the offset of the weight.

Was loving the 9kg DB, although they felt closer to 10kg. Need to weigh them as the handles feel pretty close to 5kg rather than 4kg.
84kg this morning, gains? probably not.
Training yesterday, bad idea, yup. Should have used the day for recovery not shoulder gains.

Tweaking my form.

200x3 - ***** is wrong with the clips, plates moved away from the bar on the right side making things annoying. Will use better clips next week.
Video of deads posted in form thread. Overall I think there's not much between the 2 starting positions, hard to gauge power when I was tired. Not sure why reppin 200 feels like a weak session, high expectations I think.
Paused Squats
Did a few warm up sets then decided I haven't got it in me today.

Strong deads - 200 for reps no matter whether it feels weak or not is not weak.
84.4 this morning. I think I hold onto quite a bit of water post training. I'll be under 83 on Monday. Creatine juicy.
84.3kg this morning, so holding onto this weight more easily now. Still look as lean too.
180x5 x3 squats tonight.

Hnnnnggggg I'd bandage your glutes

Takes a fair bit of effort to resume a stalling rep like you did with your 5th, obviously still a bit too light for you

It was a fair bit of back that helped me in that situation
It's still there but not so bad now.
Cheers guys.
Dom I think I may do 1 more week of 5s

Still maintaining ~84.3kg bw, that's good. I can't see any increased fat/softness in my upper body, so I'm happy the weight gain hasn't been bad since the comp (81.6kg). I imagine most of the weight is lower body.

No lower body?
