#BLOC #Lifting

Block Pull 1 x 1 @ 160

Resting 3 minutes.
Attempted 175 but failed to break the blocks on 2 attempts.
Stripped back to 160 which moved fine.
Back sets 3×5 @ 140 all moved nicely.

Summary

All good just not enough in the tank for a PR.
All other sets ok. Achilles feeling fine today.

#BLOC #Lifting

Squat 1 x 1 @ 140

Resting 2 minutes.
Top set ok. Feeling heavy though.
Had a bit of discomfort in my right Achilles most of the weekend. I’m putting it down to mileage at work. Seems fine once I’m moving but is super stiff and slow to loosen up. Will continue to monitor and report back if it gets worse.
Back sets a little off balance on the whole 3×5 @ 110.

Press 1 x 1 @ 62.5

Resting 2 minutes.
Top set went on the second attempt.
Attempt 1 took too long in the rack position. Gave myself a talking to and got on with it second time around.
Back sets all good.

Summary

Steady but heavy day.
Definitely feeling so residual fatigue from the weekend at work. Got 1 illness and 1 on holiday out of the team this week so workload is a little higher than usual.
Lifts feeling ok once I was warmed up though. No massive issues to report.

#BLOC #Lifting

Resting 3 minutes.
Top set moving slow today.
Quite a few kgs off where I’d planned on being.
Back sets moving better.
8/7/6 @ 80.

Summary

Slow one today.
Don’t think my heart was in it this morning.
Only did bench so still 1 session off schedule.
