Volume Night
A typical Monday night at the gym. Freaking clowns everywhere, so it was in with the ear buds and crank up some classic mix of rock and hip hop. Everything felt good tonight but I had to skip pull throughs again due to clowns on the cables... butt heads,. Spring decided to take a break and the weather turned wet and cold so I decided to don the compression pants for the gym....


Squats - feeling good on these, but I found out that knee sleeves and compression pants don't work that well together. I have sorted my form and filming from the rear showed the improvement. I had one rep of 25 that the bar dipped on the left side but other than that everything felt good.


Bench Press - 97.5kgs 6x6 is definitely a rep PR for me and next week's 100kgs will be another. I felt really good on the bench and I feel like my form is pretty well dialled in right now. The shoulders feel good and just one elbow is a little sore. It doesn't seem to be bothering my bench much though. I am feeling pretty confident going into Friday from here.


RDL - I upped the weight and things still felt good. I would rather do these in the rack but the rep of the floor can't hurt. Next week I'll up it 5 more kgs to keep building the back up. After deadlifting on Friday my back was sore but I got these done and felt ok.
