• Had another slightly late night and then fitful sleep, I could’ve postponed this since I’m not working today but got up early and did it anyway.

• Loaded the squats a little heavier to see how my quad will handle it. There was still some soreness but it didn’t get any worse. I decided three sets was enough today seeing as I squatted on Tuesday as well and this was a little more weight. Hopefully I can keep increasing the load and start to tolerate it without causing myself pain later on.
• Loaded the RDLs a little heavier this week too, turns out this is as heavy as I’ve ever taken these, although I have done sets of eight with this weight in the past. Guess we’ll see what next week brings.
• Tiny bit more weight with the leg extensions, my knee was pretty crunchy from the start and I probably shouldn’t have kept going with them but I banged out three sets and had a fairly big quad burn by the end.
• Subbed in squeeze presses instead of push ups and actually had more of a chest pump than triceps which was a change. But I definitely did work my triceps pretty hard too and they were smoked by the time I started the push downs, I got them done but it wasn’t anything special.
• A pretty decent effort today, took 61 minutes.
