Very pleased to get 5 singles across on my bench. Again, some were slower and a bit sloppier than others, but all in all not bad. 

Deadlift today was the first set of 5 I have pulled in nearly 3 months. After so many weeks of triples, doubles and singles, a 5 rep set feels very different and quite challenging. I experienced this with my press earlier in the week too. Although I must take into account that when I know I’m not going for a PR, I don’t generate anywhere near as much intensity and this would increase the perceived difficulty of the set. 

Farmers and sandbag were downright brutal in the 32 degree heat.
