Never Felt So Weak :(

I've had a busy couple of weeks where I've missed sessions and meals etc but damn I've never underperformed so badly!

bench: 100 x 5. Not so bad but felt like 105.

Squat: 140 x 5 - this actually felt like a 5RM.

DL: 150 x 5  - heavy.

Holy shit this was bad.

Back in the Gym

So it's been days since I trained - with the move to Auckland and all that that has entailed. We've secured a place at Silverdale which is about 15mins North of Rangitoto College. The place is out of town in the sense that suburban development has stopped and and rural living begins. It's quite beatiful and the place Ronelle and I are going to rent is a little 2 bedroom farmhouse on a farmers property. The house is extremely basic but it's private and the surroundings are picturesque. We'll move in this weekend after the owner has put new carpets down.

For the rest of this week I'm staying in a house on the school grounds with Josh, a PE teacher. He runs the house and looks after any guests the school needs to take care of. Him and his Mrs a great so its made for a welcoming stay.

Had my first day of school today, taught all my classes and it went really well. Hectic teaching while also organising computers, log in etc but all in all I really enjoyed.

I was in the school gym this evening and its pretty good: 2 power racks, a bench, dumbells and plates as well as bumper plates.

Bench: 97.5 x 5 (p), 95 x 5, 90 x 5, 90 x 3 (p).

Press: 60 x 5, 5, 6.
