Squats Vol./Bench Intensity Another day of driving and meetings on little sleep and not much food but felt really good to get to the gym.





 
















Squats - I wasn't sure how many sets I was going to get on these but I pushed and got all 5 sets.. 15 reps at 185Kgs.. Some kind of PR that is..

Bench Press - This was a good one on the bench. I got a spotter just in case but I cranked out the double with no problem. My usual pre-set up stretching usually cracks but this time I felt a slight twinge where my back sometimes gets a pinched muscle. Something to consider at this point in the comp cycle.

Slingshot bench - I added in some overloads today to build up some strength. The 140 and 150kgs went ok and the 160kgs single took some serious pushing...

 Due to breaks between heavy sets time ran longer than normal and the twinge in my back I flagged RDLs today. Last week's deadlifting has left my traps sore and the rest might not be such a bad idea for deadlifts. I'll be doing some testing in a couple of weeks.....
