I was supposed to do pull ups/rows after deadlifting but my calluses were bleeding, I'd worked 14 hours the day before and I was just too tired for words. Cleans felt good but could have been better, press was such a bitch but I did it anyway and got some weight and volume PRs to go with it. Deadlifts were hardcore, going to add 2.5kg a workout from here on out, with 150kgx3 being a matched PR except this time I'm 5kg lighter and it's double bodyweight! Looking forward to killing it on Saturday.

Absolutely monstrous effort from everyone involved, T Mitch and I gave it all we had and owned this workout. Really happy to join the 2 plate bench club, and also very hungry to get 130kg and probably 135kg next time I max squat. Going to take these wins and move forward to the next milestones!

Absolutely killed this workout until it was dead. I was going to pull 145kgx3 when I instead thought I would just max, which turned out to be a great idea. The best part was that 160kgx1 flew so fast that it convinced me to pull 172.5kg instead of 165kg or 170kg. Lockout was a bitch, but I hung on and got it in the end.

Bench is a 2 rep PR, was only expecting to get 10 but somehow pulled the last rep out and had the most unholy chest pump. Crazy workout, and I think I've finally figured out how to psych up properly ahead of a big set.

Worked out with Phil and it went almost like clockwork. Press wasn't feeling as sturdy as it should, definitely have 5 in me for that weight. Squats felt so solid, best session I've had in ages and ages. Every rep was compact and smooth, no matter how slow it was. I think it comes down to squatting with a bit of extra lower back involvement (as it's usually next to none). Very surprised how easy pull ups were, full of energy and I'm starting to get my groove back in terms of feeling light when hanging on to the bar. Good workout, but I can do better.
