Fuckin' chargin'

- Bench: 102/225 x 1 x 5 (PR)
- Sumo Deadlift: 155/342 x 1 x 6 (PR)
- Squat: 135/297 x 1 x 8
- Weighted Dip: 20/44 x 3 x 10
- Glute Ham Raise: BW x 3 x 10
- GHD Sit Up: BW x 2 x 20



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.
