Tuesday

Bit of a mediocre session tonight. The gym was shut from Thursday-Monday. It's shut again on Friday and Monday, and I'm away Thursday to Saturday. So training is very disrupted at the moment. No lower body work since the squat challenge.

I was hoping for eight reps on top sets of press and bench press. Anyway, hey ho.

Saturday - half session

I've had real problems over the last couple of days with a trapped nerve - or that's what I assume it is. Pain in neck and shoulder, numbness in face (!) and arm. A session on the foam roller seemed to cure it. However, today's workout was horrible, horrible, horrible. Failed a 95kg press. Bent over rows at 100kg was impossible - despite doing 100 X 5 X 5 on Tuesday. Bench press was painful - there's something up with my left pec which isn't going away. Only managed 10 reps out of 70kg on press - I was hoping to equal my rep PB of 14.

I took the camera along as that sometimes spurs me on, but the stength just wasn't there.
