Video of work sets:

Hamstrings still sore. Ate lots yesterday. Busy this morning, did a bit of physical work round the house so wasn’t sure how an afternoon training session would go – but…..
Session notes:

• Squatting was good. First set looked pretty easy on video, second and third not so much – though I let the bar get a bit forward in the second set and made it harder than it should have been. Couple of reps might be an inch shy on depth but they’re pretty close. I’ve hit 125kg for a single once before (back in Feb) and 122.5kg for a double (back in January). So it’s been a while 🙂
• Wasn’t sure what to load up for deadlifts. This was pretty ambitious. My hamstrings really were tired after the first set and I doubted I’d get another ten, but ignored it and pushed through. Winning!
• The walking lunges just about smashed me last time, so with all that heavy leg work I went a bit lighter with the dumbbells. Did the 100 reps in a little over 6 minutes but was huffing and sweating by the end, and knees are a bit achy.
• Thankfully, it was high intensity but relatively low volume. Only took an hour on the knocker.

Have a wonderful day, readers!
