Don’t let me do my first rep with girls watching, I will always try to show off even if it’s tempo. Ruined my legs with that first run and they felt heavy and tight for the rest of the session.

Hit my head on the 2nd set of pullups and had to stop… idiot. Ok that was a good workout, struggled on shoulder press and curls but those aren’t getting any heavier so if I can keep up consistent training it should be a breeze.

Bit of Pantera and Korn’s Twisted Transistor gave me some adrenaline to get through this. Worked on technique in cleans and getting a controlled full depth squat. Finished with glute/HS raises, really felt these and hopefully it’ll give my posterior chain some extra strength.

Not sure why I moved the cone, guess I get frustrated when I know i’m half a second off my best so I changed it up to a distance i’d never run. Rest period was too short but even my first run totally fresh I ran the exact same time as my easy-fast-easy runs which makes me think I only have one gear and completely lack top speed. I’m expecting a jump in times as I see it being a co-ordination issue and it will click again and I can sprint with proper technique as it’s currently very laboured and lacking intensity.

One of my hardest final reps on squats but I surprised myself by not panicking or rocking out of position and I just eased the weight up. Think i’m adjusting to these weights and not getting intimidated by the numbers.
