Not bad.
Deadlifts:

Bad. Maybe I wasn't recovered enough.
Then home.

Average session tonight.
Squats:
130 x 5/5
Light squats.
Paused bench press:
92 x 5/5/5
Actually quite hard. On one side the bar felt much heavier on the last set, and also neck and pecs feeling really tight.
Chins:
bodyweight x 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3
Wanted to get some chins done.
Lacrosse ball work on pecs for a bit between chin ups, then home.

77.5 x 2/0
70 x 5/0

Barbell rows:

Just did some lat pull downs and foam rolling this afternoon to get something done...
Mixed session tonight.
Squats:
170 x 5/5/5
Very difficult. Form not really holding up either.
Press:
72 x 5/5/5
Quite difficult.
Deadlifts:
190 x 0
Dunno what's up with this. The warm up didn't feel bad at all.
Then home.

Okay session this evening.
Deadlifts:
190 x 3
160 x 8
Bit disappointed about the 190 - was aiming for 5 - but 160 for 8 not too bad for me. Quite difficult cardio wise.
Barbell rows:
90 x 8/8/8
Okay.
Tried to do some chins, but hurt wrist, and didn't get that many pull-ups either.
Then went home.

Good session this evening.
Squats:
170 x 1
190 x 1
200 x 1
155 x 2/5/6
200 is a PR. Felt very difficult, and I think I lost tightness at the bottom too. But I got it. The back-off sets were quite hard. First back-off set where I got a double, it's because my trousers felt too low so I stopped the set.
Bench press:
92.5 x 5/5/5 - paused
Easier than last time, thankfully, although still quite difficult on the last rep or two.
Then did some lat pull downs on the machine for 3 x 8.
Then went home.

Okay session tonight. Not eaten much today so perhaps wasn't expecting too much. A quick one.
Deadlifts:
180 x 5/5
First set not too bad; second much harder.
Chins:
bodyweight x 5
Then I hurt my wrist like last time I did these, and couldn't really do anything after.
Then home.

Another quick one this afternoon. Wanted to get done what I didn't manage yesterday.
Press:
74 x 3/3/3/3/3
Was hoping for fives. Wrist still sore so wore wrist wraps.
Did a quick set on CGBP to see if wrist was okay with that, but it was probably far too light, then went home.

Good session tonight, generally.
Squats: 172.5 x 5/5/5
Generally very difficult, but got them all. Equals a 3 x 5 PR.
Bench press:
94 x 5 - paused
90 x 3/3/4 - paused
The last rep of 94 was very difficult, so rather than fail the next set I dropped it down to get some triples in. Did a 4 on the last set so I could get 15 reps.
Lat pull downs:
1 x 6
3 x 10
Not wanting to try chins with my wrist the way it is at the moment.
Then home.

Bad session tonight.

Light squats. Lower body feeling quite sore from Monday.

Really disappointing - never felt like I had any upper body strength in me tonight.

You should trademark "Then home"

Good session this evening - a quick one. Had a sore head though - possibly due to not drinking much fluid and the heat today.
Deadlifts:
185 x 6
170 x 3/3
Almost had a seventh in me for the first set, but grip failed. Better than I was expecting. Then did two quick back-off sets trying to focus on form.
Lat pull downs:
1 x 10 - chin up grip, wrists not liking this.
1 x 6 - kinda close grip pull up grip, but weight quite heavy
1 x 10 - wider grip pull up grip, felt better on the wrists
Then home.
