Hit a rep PB on Tues: squats 5×5 @ 130 and had a bit left in the tank. Equalled a DL rep PB of 5×5 @ 155 last night, even though i was fatigued and full of DOMS my form was way better than last time.
Let's not talk bench, except I now realise how important intra abdominal pressure is for bench as well as everything else...

My bench is sadly lacking; I've pressed 100kg once. Last program I finished on 3x3 @ 80, this week was week three and I hit 5x5 @ 75, so I'm improving. The four bench sets I captured are in the middle of this clip (the rep PB squats are at the start):
I've been using the phone to video and trim what sets I can, then VideoPad editor to whip them into a movie, to get to my old trainer so he can remind me where I'm going wrong...
Rep PB's continue:
R.bb.sq 5×3 @ 140kg
F.bb.sq 3×3 @ 100kg
DL 5×3 @ 160kg (last week)
I also had 330 on top of the sled n the leg press, that felt heavy.
DL Rep PB on Friday: 5x3 165kg
Week 5 vid:
The DOMS is different as the weight gets closer to max. Also somehow tweaked my right upper pec under the clavicle, lucky its not too bad.
