Not impressive in terms of weight lifted but at least I got in some decent volume. Love the power rack at the gym, but I find the mirror puts me off when squatting. Need to get a curtain so I don't have to see my ugly mug every time I squat lol. | ||

Squats, bench and maybe some cheeky power cleans if I feel up for it tomorrow. | ||

The bar exploded off the chest which is a little unusual for me as its usually slow off the chest, I thought I was going to grind it out but it just stopped moving halfway. Definitely got it very soon and it puts me in good spirits to hit at least 100 in March if it keeps on improving. Might dedicate one session per week to beltless squatting, I think it could help bring my squat up significantly if I work getting stronger without a belt, even if it is a low bar squat. | ||

I put up a huge A5 paper to cover the mirror during squatting and it made a big difference, except not a good way. I couldn't feel myself get into proper position like I use to when I was training at another gym, hence why my single was so horrible. I need to keep on squatting without a mirror if I want to be getting any sort of PB's in 5 weeks. Also to be fair, I did a 12 hour shift yesterday and I had a 4am start for an early shift...guess I can't be too hard on myself. Not giving up though, I would like at least 5kg PB's on all lifts for this comp. | ||

Felt much better squatting, depth wasn't a struggle, less knee caving and also felt less pain from my left hip flexor so I'm going to stick with this now. I feel this may be the best medium of squatting stance for me.

Monday training sessions (especially in the morning) seem to always be s**t. What should be my opener in a month felt like a 3rd attempt lift. Hopefully that's just because of the frequency of training and not that I've gotten weaker. Hope I feel better when I taper my weights a week out, not upset but I am a bit worried lol. | ||

Not bad overall though, just have to keep consistent... | ||
