Something about early morning workouts makes my back feel untrustworthy, so I put on a weight belt for the squats. About 1h45 of exercise, legs are getting fatigued. No concern at all that my CMJ is only 57cm, when I ran track my box jumps would go up ~5cm when I eased off weights and I can see something similar happening here. The exercises feel laboured but I’m trying my best to be explosive.

Bench Press – 4 x 5 x 90kg
BB Rows – 4 x 5 x 80kg

Really phoning it in with the upper body work, it’s still more than I did for Vert Shock and as long as I don’t lose strength I’m not fussed.
Very relieved to finish week 7 because I know next week is a taper and then I can relax before re-testing.
