Overall a solid workout. As soon as I benched 60kgx5 and the bar was flying like it was weightless I knew it would be a good day on the bench. The last rep of 83.5kg was a grinder, but not horribly so. It feels awesome that a weight that 4 months ago was a 3RM is now something I can get 7 with. 60kgx16 was a complete farce, I was aiming for 12 but the reps just kept coming, so I didn't stop. Probably could have got 18 if I was willing to let my arms go wonky.

Just was not feeling squats, hip flexors were blocking me at the bottom which never feels nice. Tried to roll them out which helped a bit on the last set, but I wanted 8 anyhow for a PR. Next time.

Chins and curls were ridiculous, I was going to go heavier than I did on chin ups but I figured I'd make the muscles work a bit harder. 2 second deadhang at the bottom of every rep left me struggling by the end, and the curls compounded the burning in my arms. Good intensity workout, looking forward to press & squats x5-5-5-5-5+ with T on Saturday.
