Bench 1 x 5 @ 100
Resting 2 minutes.
Only 4 on the top set. Rep 4 slowed so much that rep 5 would have been an RPE11 grinder.
Back sets 8/7/6 @ 75. All good.
Summary
No issues today.

Stripped back to 160 which moved fine.

All good just not enough in the tank for a PR.

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.

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

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

#BLOC #Lifting
Block Pull 1 x 3 @ 161
Resting 2 minutes.
Top set all good, moved pretty nicely.
Loaded 160 then checked my PR board and added 1kg.
Back sets also good at 120.
Summary
Skipped Monday due to phone launch. Not as bad as previous years but still managing to clock a good few miles around the stock room.
Will double up tomorrow with bench and squat to get back on rotation.
