Feeling nice and smooth here.
Pallets and blocks seem to make the correct height.

Squat 3 x 5 @ 117.5

Resting 2 minutes.
Feeling heavy today.
Moving ok though.

Axle Continental Clean and Press 5 x 3 @ 55

Resting at least 2 minutes.
A few failed reps here.
Only 2 full reps on set 1. Second rep couldn’t get the bar rolled up to the chest.
Set 3 Rep 3 also failed at the same point.
Hard fought single on Set 5. Pretty much gassed out at that point.

Heavy stuff today.
I’m blaming a combination of heat and travel fatigue but its more likely just being crap at the movements!
Got a little better at least.
