Thinking about this I’ve had two bad experiences with ballet teachers in two weeks (getting cut and getting yelled at) and I think maaybe 95% week followed by 90% week had something to do with it. my lower back/hips felt tired doing this even after a couple of days off. that’s what deload week is for!

Conventional bench press. 5x80kg, 5x90kg, 3x100kg, 2x110kg // damn those Carter mini-workouts with the big DBs are awesome. want to do more of that.

Impressive numbers here!

Your squat is pretty high compared to your deadlift, that’s intesresting. How do you explain it ?

Also how much do you weigh ?
