Depressing workout. Bench was fine, squats felt horrible and tight all over so I didn't even bother. The bright spots in the workout were the power cleans and pull ups. I have finally got my hip extension sorted, doing freeze frames of the video show that everything is extended at the start of the second pull, no hip creases were found. I can't stress how good these felt. Pull ups were easier than last week, which was a great sign that soon I will be back to where I was when I was 70kg. Overall terrible workout.

This workout was made worse by all the progress that my mates have been making lately. I know you're meant to be happy for others when they progress, and I am, but the essence of competition is the overriding will to win. And I lost. Fran pulled 185kgx1 and squatted 130kgx1 in the past week and Chris benched 93kgx5 and 102kgx2 after I'd been ahead of him for ages. Don't know why I can't seem to pull it together and making fucking progress, it feels like I'm never getting stronger.
