I deliberately slept a bit longer this morning and skipped my morning walk. Still feeling pretty shithouse, energy wise. Thank $deity this is only gonna run for 4 weeks max. Also, as predicted I’ve been suffering the mother of all DOMs since Tuesday night. Basically everything below the waist hurts – glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves. That was epic. Just been trying to walk around lots during the day but if anything it was worse today than yesterday!

Session notes:
– Self doubt again about hitting eights. Managed 57.5kg while I was away, with no spotters, so gave it a crack. Definitely bounced the last rep in the first set too much, but otherwise got them all pretty clean which is good! Think I’ve tweaked an ab muscle slightly though, better keep an eye on it.
– Put the bench up properly vertical for dumbbell presses and got the volume in. Bit of impingement on my left shoulder, gotta watch that too.
– Chins, I actually felt in my back for a change. And in my abdominal, unfortunately. Tis a bit sketchy.
– Dips and curls to finish were pretty uneventful, really. With super short breaks, my arms were abso lutely pumped.
– On paper, I thought it might be a long session but banged it out on exactly an hour. Just another case of ‘fuck your feelings’ because it finished up great. Have an awesome night, anyone who reads this!
