Squats were comfortable, as they should be, and top set of stiff leg deads was very smooth. Hopefully I can build on this the next few weeks. (89.1)

Overhead was hardest, and next week will be tough. Close Grip went well. Everything else moved ok, bit of soreness in my traps, nothing more. (90.0)

Everything moved ok, but it all felt like hard work. Anyway, at least I got it done. (89.4)

Wanted 5 x 10 on bench, but realistically 3 x10 was about what I expected. Inclines tucked after that as shoulders were destroyed. Pull ups were a best, and pendlays went well. Didn't do reverse curls as I ran out of time. (89.6)

I just did not have the energy today. Knee was also a bit sensitive. SLDLs were better though, as we're leg Extensions. (89.4)

I gave it my best effort, which is the main thing. Both back exercises were up a little. So, the end of a slightly disappointing week, lifting-wise. 3 x8 on both bench and overhead next week, so that should be a fair bit easier. Hopefully my pressibg can improve a bit in the next 8 weeks. (89.8)

Thankfully made the squat with virtually zero knee pain. Deadlift also went well. One of my better deadlift sets of the year. (89.9)

Only bench could have been more fluent. Inclines were straightforward, while pull ups, though hard, were a pleasent surprise. Will add more volume next week. (89.8)

Squat was a bit better this week than last. Knees not completely better, so i was a bit tentative on some reps, with a too-slow descent. Thankfully this is a comfy weight. Everything else was straightforward. (89.4)

My adductors in my left leg were a bit sensitive, for no apparent reason. Deadlift moved ok. (89.7)

Squats actually felt reasonably solid after the first rep or two of the first working set. However, decided to limit myself to 4 sets. Knees felt fine todsy, so fingers crossed. SLDL top set felt slightly harder than i expected. (89.6)

Overhead Press was quite hard, and i was disappointed not to make all 4 sets. All the rest went pretty well, i was quite pleasently surprised to make 3 sets of 10@75 on close grip. (89.7)

Wanted to do belt squat, but someone was using it, so squatted for 1 set. Felt bad. Then did horizontal leg press, which got hard really quickly. Not a very enjoyable session, but at least it didn't take much out of me (89.4)
