• Had a late night with F1 on Sunday night and was completely exhausted last night. Managed to get the light out at 9 but slept like crap and this cold has moved to my sinuses which doesn’t help. Still managed to get up at 5am, with a headache, but decided to go out and have a crack anyway.

• These squat sets were pretty hard, mostly because oxygen. I think my legs could have got at least one more but my lungs were about to explode, as I stood up the last rep I was puffed but felt OK, then after racking the bar and walking away I was absolutely gasping.
• Kept the leg extensions at the same weight as last week. Knee was a bit crunchy but didn’t hurt, I had a good quad burn and probably could have done one more set if I was motivated to. I wasn’t.
• A nice round 140kg on the RDLs today, and felt every kilo of it. I thought four sets of six would be fine, and had no intention of extending the last set when I started it. And then I did it anyway.
• Really didn’t feel like I had much energy left for some light benching and even struggled a bit getting into position to start with, but pushed through it and got some sets done. Last set was pretty hard.
• Finished in 67 minutes today. Pretty pleased with the effort all things considered.
