Resting 3 minutes.
Top set was not an RPE8!
Back sets were 5 and 3 @ 130.
Not feeling too bad overall.
Resting 90 Seconds.
Keg Press – 40 – 11/9
Barbell Row – 40 – 15/12
Sandbag – 60 – 4/
Stopped mid way through lap 2 as I was feeling increasing tension in the lower back.
Cardio still felt ok for another lap.
Not too bad today.
Late start again and only two thirds of a circuit.

Resting 2 minutes.
Defo feeling these now.
Stairs were even difficult after!
Resting 2 minutes.
Top set un-rack felt a little off in the shoulders.
Rest of the set felt good.
2×8 @ 80 on the back sets.
Slow to get going this morning.
All good once I got some momentum.

Resting 2 minutes.
Top set moved smooth. Probably another 10kg in the tank for RPE but didn’t want to risk it while I’m still getting used to the lower blocks again.
Back set (1 x 5 @ 120) all reps felt good. A little off RPE again but playing it safe.
Resting 90 seconds.
Banded Chins – 3 x AMRAP @ BW
All good here. Last couple of reps on each set a little questionable!
Push Press – 1 x 3 @ 60 – 2 x AMRAP @ 50
Theres felt ok. Maybe should have rested mid set on the 2 lighter sets but managed some ok rep ranges.
Tyre Flip – 3 x AMRAP @ 100
Forgot to get the tyre out for the first set… had to roll it over in my transition phase.
Last set was struggling with grip under the tyre then blocked myself off with where the workbench was placed.
Feeling good this morning.
Everything moving nicely.
Hopefully this continues for my annual physical tomorrow. Will be interested to see if my numbers there have improved at all.

Resting 3 minutes.
3×5. Feeling heavy today.
Resting 90 seconds.
Safe Press – 70 – 0
Clean Pull – 40 – 11
Pinch Hold – 20 – 10s over 4/5 pickups.
Safe press – Tried a lower bar start and a push press but yoke is still just slightly too heavy.
Clean pulls all ok.
Pinch holds – plates are just slightly too wide to be comfortable. Accumulated a fair few seconds but grip was toasted after 1 round.
Banging headache this morning, was hoping it would have gone by the time squats were out the way.
Only 1 fairly unsatisfactory lap on the circuit again.

All good on these.
Resting 2 minutes.
No problems.
Last rep hit the safeties on the right side and threw balance. Maybe had another couple of reps in there.
All good this morning.
Will be adding low intensity cardio PRs with grocery run and lawn mowing this afternoon.
