• Had pretty decent sleep but the whole house has some sort of throat infection / cold so I am not 100%. Lifted at 11am since I’m not working this week, had coffee and a chocolate chip cookie as preworkout.

• Squats probably felt less heavy than last week, but I was really struggling for air again, probably not surprising being a bit sick but I’m also unfit. Last set was a bit challenging too.
• Added 2.5kg to the leg extensions and just went for tens. Had a decent burn but pretty much no knee pain so that’s good. It still hurts walking around especially up and down slopes and I was feeling it a lot yesterday shooting hoops, which is a shame, my basketball days might be over.
• First warmup set of RDLs felt crazy heavy but I added a tiny bit of weight anyway and found them all pretty easy except for blowing a bit at the end of the longer last set.
• Had some chest DOMS today and will probably bench tomorrow morning so just went through the motions with the dumbbell bench and got them done.
• Session time: 65 minutes.
