Knee is troubling me and hip flexors are sore,
I just don't think I can go on anymore.
When squats feel heavier but the bar is lighter,
Too succeed, you really have to be a fighter.
After 12 weeks, morale is starting to drop,
I can't go on, this madness has to stop.
Everything just feels so unfair,
My lean dream has turned into a nightmare.
Light Squat
Bench: Steel's program, end of week 2.
Press: 60x4, 50x8

Squattn, Benchn, Jumpn
Threw in some light squats today because I feel like once a week squatting just isn't enough.
Also benched 92.5x5x3, 70x12 and did a bunch of curls.
Did some skipping rope after the session too which was fun. Felt a bit like Manny Pacquiao!

Ass Kicked
Bench: 110x1, 115xFAIL, 120 didn't attempt
Sumo Deadlift: 195x1, 195XFAIL
Terrible session. Was supposed to be hitting a new 1RM of 120 on the bench and didn't even succeed in my last warm up of 115.
Deadlift was hard. Too hard to get off the ground on my second attempt.
After about 3 weeks of drinking and poor diet, I think the effects are starting to show. I didn't get to be until the early hours of this morning and it showed in the gym today. I'm dissapointed but at the same time, I'm on holidays and I've been having a good time partying, which I haven't really done for the best part of a year. I'm going to keep trying my best in the gym but I accept the fact that this is just not the best time to be making PR attempts.
Not sure what I'll do next week, might repeat the session and try and better it.
