Today was just one of those days: a beautiful afternoon outside, fucking charging on geranium extract and caffeine while hitting PRs.
The last rep on bench was harder than I expected. I’m going to have to increase my calories slightly if I want to hit 103kg in a fortnight.
Deadlift was better: I kept tighter but it’s still something I am going to have to work on.
Squats were some of the best I have ever done. I wrapped my knees and my shin angle was more vertical than ever before: virtually no knee pain. I could have easily managed more reps but I don’t want to exceed 8 reps on Friday’s as I don’t want to be sore for Monday’s higher rep set.
There is video of Nicko hitting 105kg for a set of 8 with the Trap Bar. He is definitely growing.
And it’s my birthday tomorrow. After so many injuries and set-backs I am just savouring this peak before the next valley that will inevitably follow. Oh and I’m really happy with my body composition at the moment which is always a fucking plus.
