Resting 3 minutes.
Top set felt heavier than last time @ 180.
5 reps at 120 on the back set moving slower than usual.
Struggling with energy levels today. Not sure on what has triggered that.
Got a 2 week annual leave starting from Wednesday so will hopefully be able to rest up and properly recover.

Starting to feel smoother here as I’m getting used to the movement.

All good here. Knees to floor still horrible but moving along.
Resting 2 minutes.
Top set felt ok but more difficult than previous.
1×5 @ 130 on the back set. More pleased with that than the top single.
Recovering but still feeling fatigue from last week so skipping cardio circuit again.
Would be good to arrange a call after this block to do a bit of a reset now that we have the rehab work going in twice a week. Also reaching top end on some lifts so fancy a bit of a pivot for the summer.

Using the TRX as a balance experiment.
Not sure on how it felt.
No problems here though.
Started supported by the TRX again but managed to go hands free once comfortable.
All good. Focus on slow control.
Slightly raised on a plate today. Felt ok.
Still heavily supported.
Still sucks through the big toe so not getting much of a quad stretch on these.
Resting 2 minutes.
3×5 all good.
Lots done this morning.
Slow going on the rehab work.
Also trying out the TRX for balance assist. Not sure if I prefer that or the bar.
