-Felt heavy from plate 1

-ok session, intensity was there, just not the agression and top performance

-only squat day this week

-first tiny bit of lower back pain of the training block, and def from DL/bench sessions back to back. So am happy how the lower body is performing with DL/fronts/squat. Although some left hip disfunction but not serious.

I'm lazy so don't write 232.5, and usually upscale it 500grams to make it look cooler ;) 

just assumed peeps would know 2.5

I used to do something like this but instead of writing 1 I'd write 2 and instead of 2 I'd put 3. Just assume when I wrote 220 people would know I meant 110. Hahaha

I suppose I shouldn't lie :) but ya can't always believe everything you read on the internet anyhow

[HarryB]

It's the 3. Our brains can't cope with it. It's either 1.25, 2.5 or 5. There's no 3.. 

[Monarchking]

 

@HarryB The struggle is real.

Will do. 

 

155 wasn't as good as te 150 rep before and I perfer not to round over in the front squat, I've used that approach before and think keeping best technique gets best results and less unnecessary sore bits.

 

160 next week fr you maccaz.
