Well. This was supposed to be a squat workout, but a lady started using the squat rack as I was putting my shoes on next to it. I started benching nearby while waiting and then someone else grabbed it as soon as she was finished. Need to work on my gymsertiveness (but also didn’t want to upset the regulars).

Ended up doing this week’s bench workout instead, pretty much, except didn’t go for any PRs because no small plates here (smallest I found was 2.5kg) and no spotters on any of the benches either.

Session notes:
– Worked up to a few heavy triples. Was decent fun. Was a bit careful with CGBP not to get near failure, triceps got a pump.
– Delt circuit was hard work, was supposed to be five rounds but I called it after four. Shoulders were on fire.
– Another nice quick session, 51 minutes.

Might be a good thing not squatting today as we’re off to do a tour of Highclere Castle this morning, the wife will get her Downton fix. Might squat tomorrow if I can get up early again, that will leave Friday free for another early morning bench session if I want it. Might as well take advantage of eating all the food while I’m here 🙂
