Notes: This was done after my final nightshift of the week, would normally go before work, but a colleague was having leaving drinks, so I joined him for 4 quick pints of Guinness. Squat rack was being used when I got to the gym, so I benched for the hell of it whilst waiting. Squats did not go well, pain in right knee from the get go, not sure why. Did not complete the 5 reps at 135kg. I can't remember the last time I had a decent squat session.

Notes
Last day in the gym this week, so combined sessions again. Felt good. Purposely held back on squats as I didn't want any failed reps today - more for confidence than anything else.
Got a few nice days coming up - my youngest son's birthday tomorow, we'll go out for dinner in the evening, so I expect I'll have some steak. Thursday I'm out for a curry and then Friday meeting a friend for his 40th during the day, so a few beers to be expected. Next gym session planned for Monday morning.

Been a while since I've checked in here MM, good to see your still setting rep PR's on deadlifts, money in the bank towards 200.

Thanks mate, forgetting about it for a while, just going to keep getting those rep PRS hopefully.
