Started dropping reps after that.
Stripped to 52.5kg for sets 4 and 5.
Reasonable restart.
No painkillers today as they’ve been havoc on my stomach. Off my food most of the last 2 days.
Will continue stretched throughout the day to relieve any symptoms.
I can feel I’m not fully trusting any lifts at the minute but the heavy stuff for today moved ok.

Feeling heavy so going with 3s.
Major fail on the left side in the last rep.
Felt tightening in the left glute/lumbar area then folded onto the pins.
Quitting for the day at this point.
Was trying to double up on sessions to catch up today but an alternate timeline has transpired.
