Bench was so-so. But that last 20 rep sets almost made me pass out and get really dizzy, even with 25 kg. Same happened during the first and second set of squats: terrible scalp pain and numbness, and dizziness and exhaustion.

Comments:

Squat rack was occupied so I did the bench press first. Felt super weak - all the sets were very difficult. As soon as I pass 5 reps, regardless of weight, things start getting very difficult.

I then did high bar squats but they didn't feel that good with a heavy weight - I did only 4 reps on all my 6-rep planned sets.

Comments:

Very weak bench as usual. 70 kg bar feels like a ton. Surprinsingly good high bar squatting, though - the lighter sets are ATG, narrow stance, and give me a very good "muscle connection" feeling. Much better than low bar which feels like a gimmick to lift more weight.

Comments:

Felt somewhat weak in the squat. Can't believe how heavy 100 kg feels like, even low bar. Also, the deadlift was difficult and felt like something I shouldn't be doing, although to be fair it came after heavy work during the squat which took quite a lot out of me.

Went in the park and played 2 hours of ball pretty aggressively and was very close to dunking again on 10 feet. I estimate being 2 inches away from it, vert seems to be about 30 inches.

Comments:

Felt very weak in the bench press, unsurprisingly with the thicker bar that I thought weighs more than 20 kg. I weighed it and it's 20 kg. So it has to be the bar's thickness why I feel weaker with it, not sure yet. Regardless, very weak in the bench but the narrow stance squat was decent. Also the landmine single leg deadlift felt powerful.

Went to do my 5 km walk, then went in the park and played 1 hour of ball and surprisingly, after all this and yesterday's gym, I could dunk off two steps on the 2.92m rim. Really unexpected.
