It’s been a good week of training and I’ve struggled time wise to log regularly but I’ve hit some good numbers – the 220kg squat (vid below) and the 170kg bench being the real positives. This has happened while lifting my training frequency a hell of a lot and having some very poor sleeping patterns. I have a few niggly injuries – shoulder and groins and I am feeling totally drained for the first time since starting this routine five weeks ago but I’m getting stronger and I think if I keep at it I will adapt and get better. Time will tell of course. Party on.
