100 x 8. 3 sets.

Felt like my legs could just keep giving and giving today but my grip was so poor and my balance was all over the place. Another day maybe.
Wide grip cable row
5 x 8.
Done. Weekend rest should help. Front squats are working.

50 x 8
60 x 5
70 x 5
80 x 5
85 x 3
90 x 1 - awful rep, wanted 3 really but got the first one so wrong I ground it out and left it there.
70 x 5. 3 sets.
Dumbbell press
30kg x 10. 3 sets.
Not heavy to begin with but I struggle with the endurance.
Front squat
100 x 3. 5 sets. Protecting the wrist.
Leg press
Stack x 8. 3 sets. Awful cable machine, the stack says 175kg, feels harder than 400kg on the leg press at my normal gym.
Seated chest press
Stack x 8. 3 sets. A bit like above really, didn't enjoy it.
Finished with some tricep work.

Warm up

Barbell row

Haven't trained since last Wednesday. I'm not well with something, feels flu-like but not full blown yet. Everything aches and I can't stay awake. Not what I wanted with a competition coming up Saturday. I'll give it my best and we'll see come the day.

130 x 5 RPE 8
117.5 x 5. 4 sets.

Done. Not a bad start.

Box squat
First time I've ever done these, I was basically sitting down and then trying to get up again, I focused on switching my legs 'off' at the bottom. I was a bit wobbly with them but my legs were burning so they were doing something.

160 x 5
170 x 5
180 x 5 RPE 8
162.5 x 5. 4 sets.
Leg press
8 x 350kg. 3 sets, made them hamstring heavy, my weakness.
Few sets of pull downs to finish, had more planned but was ruined by this point, don't think I'd need it even if I was feeing 100%.
Done. Feel good for having done it now.

This is a massive weakness, I have almost non existent hamstrings and my lower back gives me issues a lot. Hoping an improvement here should carry over to a full deadlift quite nicely
