Pleased with squats, form was clean, upright and no good morning reps
Quads much stronger now.
I tried bending the bar over my back, and that cue seems to make the loads so much lighter on my back.

e1RM looks to be around 144kg now.

Notes

Cold basically completely gone now, thank god. Great work out, despite still being a little fatigued/sore in back/bis from Sunday. Traps surprisingly sore from the RDLs too.

Away Wed-Fri so did this today rather than tomorrow.

Pinch training is so annoying, since for me it is _so_ variable, even within a session. Depends so much on tiny factors of set-up, humidity, amount of chalk etc, so tracking it is really hard. I guess hard work is hard work so it'll add up even if it's nominally a "low" number on the sheet.

29 April

Run 8K @ 43:40 ( 5:27 pace )

1 km more than last week, yet 23''/km faster, with much better feeling.
Back to a standard good sub-5:30 rather easy run. Nice.

Thanks guys, i really appreciate the support!!!

Ok lets catch up:

23 April

BENCH PRESS: 4x10 @ 45 kg
SEATED CABLE ROW : 4x10 @ 56 kg
DB LATERAL RAISES :4x10 @ 10kg

STATIONARY BIKE : 15 minutes / 10km

-Felt fatigued, decided to take the change to deload a bit.

24 April

Run 7K @ 50:51 ( 5:50 pace )

Ultra bad, was nice and fast and springy until 4-5K but then i got too fatigued , felt like hitting the wall after 5.5K.
Weird, systemic fatigue i guess?

---

Took the rest of the week off, Partly voluntary, partly due to much work and life.
It would be perfectly fine but i forgot that it is Easter week now, uh-oh gotta try to save what i can.
