Benching went well. I'm pushing the third set a little harder each time as I get more comfortable with pauses.
Squatting sucked. The first set had terrible depth. I fixed depth for the second set but tweaked my right adductor. Thursday's 82.5x11 set took a lot out of me, as I was very sore from it for two days, particularly in the hamstrings (weird) and adductors. After the tweak, it seemed prudent to not push the third set too hard. Maybe I'm a pussy, though...
(*) Felt a little tweak in my left shoulder as I got these up for the first rep. It got kind of hard by the 8th rep so I just took it easy and called it a day.
Week 40 Diet, Week 23 Cut
After a sloppy Monday (cheeseburger with bacon and sweet potato fries, no regrets!), I kept it pretty reined-in this week. My nadir weight was 132.8 lb, so I'm hoping that I'll cross the 60kg threshold next week.
