Today was a pretty easy workout.  I had to wait ages for the lat pulldown, and ended up working in with someone so I didn't take as much rest as I normally would, hence the incomplete 3rd set.

I'm particularly happy with the deadlifts since they were beltless and moved really well.  Someone was using the platform so I was in an odd spot on the side during the first set, but then I used the platform and it was way better.

I was supposed to do 20 total reps for squats and 30 for bench, but messed up on squats and only did16.

Skipped cardio because I ran out of time.

Went through this session in an hour ; I was with my trainer and took shorter rests because I wanted to do as much as I could with him around.  Went well, though squats were a bit tough after AMRAP deadlifts!

Squats felt heavier than they probably should have ; I don't think I'm fully recovered from yesterday's crazy intense / quick session.  Thankfully it's time for DELOAD!!!

Deload week! I've been needing this so bad, it was great to do all my lifts beltless and with good speed.

Also did some abs but had to cut short because I bruised my ribs (belt too tight I think) and it was not enjoyable.

I was meant to do 6x2x87 on bench but the second rep was borderline grinding so I decided to take some weight off. The whole session felt tougher than it should have, so I decided to just go home once I was done, no abs or cardio.

Very nearly failed the last rep of set 2 on deadlifts, so did full resets in between reps for subsequent sets.  Left side has been very painful, and I'm just not feeling well. I was meant to do 4x6x100 on lat pulldowns but it felt unreasonably heavy. No abs or cardio again, but I did my mobility exercises.

Took some weight off the bar so I wouldn't need my belt, focused on getting fast and clean reps.  I'm particularly happy about squats because I could really work on consistent depth. Still no abs or cardio though.  I'm feeling much better and want to keep to the bare minimum until I'm fully recovered.

This was my last "heavy" session before my meet (4/30). I failed my 3rd single on bench at 93lbs, which makes me a little nervous.  I was training in my singlet for the first time though and was slipping a bit on the bench, so hopefully chalk will be enough. That deadlift PR tho :)
