2 minute rests

• Was in bed early last night but couldn’t get to sleep – just way too much buzzing in my brain. So didn’t get enough sleep, but dragged myself out of bed for this anyway because it’s important.
• Also my ‘Something Light’ block has now morphed into proper training so I guess I need to find a new name for the next stanza, which will happen pretty soon – getting close to wanting a deload.

• For bench I wanted sets of 3-4 with 110kg today, fours would have been nice but triples will have to do. Maybe later in the day and with longer rests I could do better. Did some sixes with 100kg as back offs and the last set was very challenging.
• Some back volume after that, not much to say, other than I probably could have pushed the last set or two a bit harder but just wasn’t feeling up for it today.
• Given I’m a session behind, I put pin squats into the next slot for today and dropped the pins one hole lower than last week with a small weight adjustment. They weren’t heavy but they weren’t a doddle either, had me blowing a bit. But my hip/quad tightness was pretty minor so we’ll see how it pulls up, maybe I can hang here for a week or three and then drop them a little lower – one notch more and I might be pretty close to comp depth.
• Curls to finish, got a bit of work in, had a fairly decent biceps pump by the end but also some elbow soreness so I probably need to give these a break pretty shortly.
• Got it all finished in 66 minutes. Not bad at all.
