Still feeling drained from the week but got a session in anyway.
I'm going to begin a mini cut for the next four weeks.

Will either switch back to normal squats or stay at this weight and add reps at this weight until I reach 3×10 on the first three sets

back on the grind. first day back after a long trip and getting covid

very weak today. 180kg for 3 reps on DL was a lot

knee rehab is going well but the knee is very very tired after a lot of lower body work. somewhat concerned about how light i took all the squatty stuff and the knee still bothered me

Felt quite weak and achy after being out all day. I've also gone down a size on my belt so it's not quite tight enough for squats

Hopefully will have flat bench back up to 120kg 5×5 by the end of the month.
I'm going to have an upper body day based on bench and dips and another on overhead press and pressups with my legs raised.

Switched back to squats and more strength based training for the lower body.
Felt quite awkward moving back to a wider stance with a flat heel but the reps moved fast and I should soon be well above 200kg for a 1rm.

Fun strength work.
My extra chest work with the stretch at the bottom has been yielding some good gains, getting a classic era chest now.
No way to build significant size without years of progressive overload.
