Good session today. 4 x 8@135 is not even a post-Covid rep PB, as I have done 140 a couple of years ago, but that was a couple of years ago when I was squatting just one a week and it nearly killed me. Today's was secondary squat and I still had a little fatigue in my back and knees, especially the right one. Deficit deads moved pretty well too. (91.1)

Close Grip was a bit of a disappointment today, was hoping for at least 3 reps, but after a second rep that went offline, making it harder, I decided to stop. Chins also felt quite hard, due to pain in left forearm, something I need to rehab (91.6)

This was a good session. Did not feel that great going into it, but gradually improved. The set of 10@147.5 was hard, especially on my breathing. It took about 5 minutes to get my breath back. The short rest triples were especially hard, they really kicked my arse. SLDLs in comparison felt relatively straightforward. I am trying bto eat a bit more to compensate for the hard training, but it is just making me feel a bit sick during training atm, without helping me gain any weight. (91.1)

DB Curls

This was not a great session. Bench was weak, and I was short 1 rep on the first set and then did 4 instead of 5 back off sets, as my left shoulder was feeling a bit dodgy. Rest was fairly straightforward. (91.6)

This was a hard session. The top set of squats was my best set of 10 since about 2015. It was much harder than Tuesday's set@147.5 as I was still a bit fatigued from that. On the short rest squats it should have been 10 sets but I was running out of energy and was aware I needed to do some deficit deads, so I stopped a couple of sets short. Only did 2 out of 3 sets as my back was starting to ache. This was a good session. Now I just have to recover from it. (91.1)

Chins

DB Inclines

Today was just a deload session for upper body, as later in the week I want to test my current max, which might not be that impressive. Bench not going so well atm. On a positive note, chins felt quite good today, and the pain in my left forearm has gone...for now. (92.1)

This was a tough session, not helped by having to change to the morning at the last minute. Squat felt slightly off compared to last week, all 3 sets were hard. I therefore deadlifted already very fatigued, and was pleased to complete 2 sets of 5 on these. They could have been faster, but I thought before I began that I might really struggle on these, but thankfully not. (91.6)

Lat Raises
12.5kg X 12 X 3 sets

DB Curls
15kg X 10 X 3 sets


This was a reasonably consistent session. Perhaps my pressing is not quite as awful as I feared. Top set of close grip matched my best post-covid, and the 3rd rep hit the safeties at the bottom, which threw me off. Flat DB Press I was just trying to see how they feel on my chest and shoulders. (91.6)
