Thursday - squats front squat slow descent
Zerchers
Monday morning - slow front squats
5 sets mostly 90kg X 3 . Better depth but feeling the fatigue even with the lighter weights.
Did a few singlesFS 110 x1 , 120kg X 1
Zercher 100kg x5 compensation kicked in after 3rd rep.
Failed 140kg Zercher. It would normally be very comfortable.
Will add a few videos comments welcome.
Obviously they are fairly similar to the last ones.
Thank you to all those who given their input.

Front squats
Triples 60, 80 , 90 ,100 , 110 was challenging .
Singles 130kg to parallel or a bit below imo
140 fail.
0n the the 130kg the bar was starting to roll off my shoulders. That’s why I didn’t like the straps before . No need for singles really though
Plus 90 kg X 3 95kg X 3 115kg X1 was meant to be 3.
Strict muscle snatched 40kg X 3 two sets
50kg X 3 two sets
Ballistic bench two sets of 8 40kg
Front squat slowly going up with improved depth. Perceived effort is higher for weights though.
I will try and post 110 X 3 and 130kg X1 having some troubles muting the copyrighted music.
In hindsight I should have muted the microphone on the camera.

Powertwister attempt getting ever closer to closing the Haoying 90 gold.
Felt beat up on tuesday so didn’t train.
I am addressing why I am so tired in training constantly. Obvioulsy
1.I train after the night shift
2. chasing too many rabbits reps deadlift max etc
maximal reps in general.
3. Lack of hard conditioning
I am going to try to train in the afternoon or evening before work.
Change back to the day shift
Quit doing some many 1 RM sessions and heavy singles.
Add some conditioning work which will be more important when my work detail changes.
Wednesday AM Bench 60kg x 15
110 x 5 ( could have done one more with spotter)
110 x 5
100 x 8
100x 6
115 x1 hard
102.5 x 6
Just clocking up the reps and making quick progress. I gained a rep on 110kg and also added a rep and set.
