• Pretty solid sleep, but had to get out of the gym pretty much straight after breakfast because we’ve got plans this afternoon. Started this at 9:30am and didn’t feel all that ready.

• I’d really hoped for at least one set of five with 107.5kg but that first set felt like it was too close to a max for that, I called it RPE 9.5 in the moment and dropped it back a bit after seeing the video. The two subsequent sets of four got progressively harder, the third was a bit grindy and the last back off set was pretty hard too.
• Lat pulldowns went a little better than last week and I threw in a drop set for good measure.
• Decided to do some light reverse lunges today since I didn’t feel up for squatting. It was light weight but these were really hard yakka, and I struggled for balance more than usual maybe because I was barefoot. And both knees were a little cranky which didn’t help.
• Finished off with curls, didn’t do any heavy sets today and just tried to get some volume in. Pushed these pretty hard.
• All done in 62 minutes.
