Single rep @ 110. Hips feeling like they are about to give me some good news!

Leg SS

Chins 3×2@BW
Calf Raise 3×24@BW

Added chins rather than Row to ease off the lower back tension. Am way out of practice on them!
Calf/Tib work all ok.

Summary

Block Pull PR but then the workout dropped off after that. 
Not the best but I’ll take it.
Have a sports massage booked for this afternoon so will hopefully be sorted out for next session.
