Light Session
In preperation for Tuesday's bench 1RM attempt. Fuck. I don't like to put pressure on myself but I really need something positive out of that next bench session.

Wednesday's Deadlift Session...
...was absolutely shit. Wanted to hit 200 x 3 x 2 but instead could only manage 200 x 3 x 1. It felt like a 1RM. I'll be back though.

Seems I Forgot to Log a Couple Sessions...
Couple session ago I completed Steel's highest volume session. For me, it was 87.5kg x 12 x 2. Did these all paused, pretty short rest, and pretty easily.
Today I benched 102.5 x 6 x 1. Again, all paused. A bit of a challenge, sure, and a good work out, but nothing insane.
CG: 87.5 x 5, 82.5 x 5, 77.5 x 5 (sr).
DBP: 26 x 4 x 5, 24 x 5 (sr).
Dips: BW x 3 x 12.
Bigger in 45 minutes.

Squat + Dead
Squat: 60 x 5, 80 x 5, 100 x 5, 127.5 x 5, 120 x 5, 100 x 5 sr.
Deadlift: 190 x 3 x 3, 170 x 3. These felt heavy. My legs were fatigued from squat; especially considering I only reseted the time it took me to load the bar. A 120kg squat is a bit of a challenge for me these days.
Next week I will go for 200 x 3 x 2 then the following week, 210 x 2 x 2. Then I will consider a week off or try 220.
Didn't do any back work cause my back is still pretty sore from last shrug/row session.

Pain Killed
What happened over the last couple of days regarding the pain killers was quite insane.
Just before I went to bed at 4am on Sunday, I took a pain killer. Then i woke up at what might have been 6am and took another one. I woke up again at 1130am and quickly began to feel extremely fatigued. i went to sleep again at 2.30pm and woke up at 530pm. I stayed awake for an hour before falling asleep again at 6.30pm right until 230am Monday morning. I got out of bed, watched tv for an hour and fell asleep again before getting up at 7am for school.
This morning I was feeling okay, then I got in the car and started feeling sleep again as I was driving. I got to school and didn't know if I could make it through the day. I was feeling so fatigued. Tired doesn't explain it. To make it worse, I had my observation from the university. Luckily, over the next hour during the morning, I started feeling better and got through my observation and the rest of the day okay. I've had bouts of fatigue overcome me but I'm 50% better than yesterday. My tooth isn't as swollen or sore either but I still haven't been able to eat much. However, I've been making up for that with whey + egg + meal supplement shakes throughout the day.
I stopped in the gym on the way back from school because I just needed some normality in my life. The session was tougher than usual but I got through it.
Squat: 125 x 3 x 5
Shrugs: 180 x 5, 185 x 5, 190 x 5
BB Rows: 62.5 x 3 x 10.
As I type this at 8pm, I'm feeling better still. Crazy what those pills did to me but I'm looking forward to feeling better tomorrow.

Wisdom Tooth
Missed today's session because my wisdom tooth has been hurting so bad. Took a couple of tramadol pain killers after work last night, stopped the pain, but caused a lot of drowsiness today. Was in no state to work out.
