Comments:

Went to the gym later in the day, when it was colder outside. Temperature is 40 degrees, here. Squat was fine, will use 105 kg next time again. Bench was bad, simply because I can't find the right grip position to express my strength. Leg extensions were leg killers, legs shaky after them.

Comments:

Bench was so-so. But that last 20 rep sets almost made me pass out and get really dizzy, even with 25 kg. Same happened during the first and second set of squats: terrible scalp pain and numbness, and dizziness and exhaustion.

Comments:

Squat rack was occupied so I did the bench press first. Felt super weak - all the sets were very difficult. As soon as I pass 5 reps, regardless of weight, things start getting very difficult.

I then did high bar squats but they didn't feel that good with a heavy weight - I did only 4 reps on all my 6-rep planned sets.

Bodyweight: 91.3 kg
Sleep rating: 3/5

Workout duration: 56 min

Comments:

Very weak bench as usual. 70 kg bar feels like a ton. Surprinsingly good high bar squatting, though - the lighter sets are ATG, narrow stance, and give me a very good "muscle connection" feeling. Much better than low bar which feels like a gimmick to lift more weight.

Comments:

Felt very weak in the bench press, unsurprisingly with the thicker bar that I thought weighs more than 20 kg. I weighed it and it's 20 kg. So it has to be the bar's thickness why I feel weaker with it, not sure yet. Regardless, very weak in the bench but the narrow stance squat was decent. Also the landmine single leg deadlift felt powerful.
