• Managed to get out of bed early despite it being a squat session. 5am alarm, lifting at 5:12. But I could’ve used some more sleep… got a lot to deal with at the moment and was feeling pretty weighted down by all of it yesterday.

• Back was a little tight for these squats still, but not as bad as last week. Still nice and light, there was a little quad tightness but pretty mild. Aspirationally I think the path forward might be to drop the pins a little over time until I can tolerate a full depth squat, but we’ll have to see how things feel.
• Went a little heavier on the RDLs and they went fine – the last set was a bit challenging but no harder than last week, maybe even a little less so.
• Back to the light leg extensions again just to get a bit of blood flowing, called it at two sets as my knee was getting pretty crunchy and I wanted to move on to other stuff.
• Didn’t add weight to the push ups today, just wanted to get some easy work in. That helped a bit with the triceps work as I was able to perform a lot better than last week, although the last set was pretty close to failure and may have been a bit cheaty. No video though so I’m calling it good enough.
• Done in 56 minutes, happy days.
