Press 3 x 8 @ 50

Resting 2 minute(s).
Tough one on set 1.
Set 2 feeling better but still not easy.
Only 7 reps on set 3.

Log 3 x 5 @ 62.5

Resting 2 minute(s).
Not today! Failure to launch!

Summary

A little discomfort in the right medial deltoid before starting. Felt better after warmups and pressing but still noticeable.
Calling it after failing on log, don’t want to aggravate anything further, especially with the loads all being in PR territory.
Not been in the rep failure zone for a good long time though.

Block Pull 1 x 8 @ 135

Resting 2 minute(s).
All ok. Moving pretty smooth

Deadlift 3 x 5 @ 110

Resting 2 minute(s).
Single rep @ 110. Hips feeling like they are about to give me some good news!
Lower back cooking from Block Pulls so dropping to 100kg.
Second attempt with the same issue so stopping here.

Leg SS

Chins 3×2@BW
Calf Raise 3×24@BW
Tib Raise 3×24@BW
Resting 2 minute(s).
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.
