Lunch session:
Feels like it's been a while since I squatted properly, 110 felt really good so had a go at the 120s which also felt good, admittedly getting more reps in would be ideal.

Thursday Lunch session:

Had the best part of a week out visiting Porto eating my body weight in Natas and various pastries. Managed to squeeze in a sports massage before and upon my return so felting somewhat better, although I was advised to try not to go heavy so often on squats and foam roll my quads out a lot more.

Sunday fasted session:

Wanted to fit a session in before going to a meat festival where once again I'd be attempting to consume my bodyweight in meat, not really sure why I attempted to deadlift at all considering I did it yesterday and it was a struggle even warming up. Squats actually felt really good but felt some sticking points so need to look into that.

Lunch session:
Legs felt generally tight, got interrupted by a PT who seems to think I have tight quads and a gaffed right shoulder (he was right about both surprisingly) and my squat is suffering as a result, so will need to do a lot more maintenance work :/

I feel somewhat stronger in my upper body (despite not looking it) so I guess that’s a bonus of sorts.

Legs were still sore from the squat session so couldn't get into deadlift, just felt too tight overall to pull anything. Was pleasantly surprised on the machine row.

10/10 - Lunch Session

Session was going really well until cable rows and I just felt a sharp ping in the neck which left me with a stiff neck for the rest of the week. Given I've been having a dull ache in the right shoulder I've been meaning to get seen this just gives me that kick to get it seen.
