Comments:

Great squatting, felt very leg dominated. Also felt the right quad engaged in the movement. But I feel kind of weak right now after coming back home, like I overtrained myself. Found a guy that played hockey, just 22 years old, and spoke about a bunch of stuff.

There is something wrong with me health-wise, every time I do certain movements I feel like there's a "tickling" in my body, in my chest, in my neck, like something is wrong "inside".

Pain in the neck, cervical area and thoracic area (chronic, by the way, for the last 2 years). Squats were good but somewhat difficult, especially the last set.
Bench felt a little better.

Pretty tiring workout. Bench was good in the beginning but after 4 sets I decided to stop and not do the 5th one as I was feeling weird. The stepups were crazy, felt very good and very difficult at the same time.

Pretty tiring workout, although squatting was good. I did one less set in the bench press because I have some back issues that flare up when I do upperbody work - issues that I have no idea what are caused by. It's a long story that I didn't expand on in here - a lot of stuff has happened during these pause years.

Good workout. The bench is still shaky so I'm going to use the same 60 kg the next one. I did some stretching and felt amazing afterwards, like I had 20 year old legs.

Sorry about your sister.
I have to ask though, what's the deal with the 30th of February?

None, I don't know why I wrote February. It happened two weeks ago, 30th October. I think I unconsciously wrote February because in the past I used to joke about "what zodiac sign am I if I'm born on 30th February" and people would think really hard what zodiac sign am I while ignoring that 30th February doesn't even exist.

Really, really weird that I wrote that.

Comments:

I decided to always do squat and bench whenever I go to the gym. There was too much pause in between workouts. It's just that my squat focus day has squat for 5x5 and bench for 3x5, whereas my bench focus day has bench 5x5 and squat 3x5. Then I do two assistance exercises, step-ups and landmine push presses and I'm done.

I don't do any kind of pullups or ab work - I will do this as a separate focus in a chalistenics park that I have nearby - that way I will be fresh for these and also do a walk/run afterwards.

Let's see how it goes.
