#Lifting #Lifting/SelfCoached #Lifting/SC/2026

Squat 3 x 2 @ 152.5

Resting 2 minute(s).
Set 1 felt ok.
Right shoulder needs looking at I think. Some mild discomfort when getting the bar on the shoulders. Wider grip helps but that reduces the tightness in the upper back.
Set 2 feeling ok too.
Last set all good.
Shoulder not too bad after. May need to warm it up next time.

Leg SS 5 x 20 @ 20/BW

Resting 2 minute(s).
Increasingly more fun each time.

Summary

No major problems today.
Will warm the shoulder up extra next session to see if that helps.

Resting 2 minute(s).
Curl @ 20kg

Trying to be stricter on the curls.

All good this morning.
Had a typo on the initial bench session which put it at 170kg or around 160% of my 1RM… would have been interesting!
