Bench 50x10 x2 80x5 100x5 120x3 x3 Incline 60x10 x3 slow and steady, was in agony. Seated press 40x10 80x10 120x5 x3 Flys 11x10x3 11x8x2 *singles Rope pull downs 4x10 x3 Single underhand 3x10 x3 Seated tricep extension 12.5kgx10 x2 10mins steady bike Lots of stretching | |||

| Squat 30 60 100 140 5x5 Deadlift 60 100 140 160 5x5 Single leg extensions 3 sets of 10 nowt heavy 10 mins on the bike to try reduce any doms in 2 days time. Bit of stretching trying to ease my tight back/glute/hams. Wanted to do a lil bit more assistance work but had very little sleep and left work late so happy just to do a bit of light volume work. | |||

| Yeah, i think 260 is going to be too big an ask in such short time. On the flip side I've never been good at a high deadlift so would have still been my bogey event. Should be a good comp, think it'll be close between us. | |||
