BS 6x105, 6x102.5, 4x6x100
Calf Raises x 3 sets
KB side bends 3 x 15 x 24kg

Notes:
Well that was brutal. Finding a new baseline for squatting after adding heavy pulls and harder cardio. Was supposed to go for 6x6x105 had to drop down to 100 to get sets of 6s across. will just assume i started a new exercise. it goes to show how easily you can fool yourself into thinking you're doing well with squats when you dont do any pullingn or cardio ....

bw has stabilised since i started eating clean .. im finishing 2 weeks today. if i get to day 22 it will become more or less automatic. keen for that. trying to get the body recomposition from cardio .. ive bumped the bike difficulty setting from 8 to 9 which is challenging .. gets my HR around 130-140bpm. Also meaning to start running but since recovery is so strained atm .. im not sure where to slot it in .. it makes sense to put it into leg or back day - but - those days are already gruelling training wise.

kind of drawn to the idea of playing pickup but it's still covid and i dont really want to risk my loved ones. will wait it out

Sorry to hear about your friend, please try to keep your spirits up.

This shows how this thing is so infectious and unpredictable. South Australia didn't have community transmission prior to this outbreak. if there were covid cases they were contained to just those people coming back from o/seas having to do the mandatory hotel quarantine. And this new outbreak suddenly started because cleaners at the hotel contracted it from those quarantining .. not directly in contact with the infected but just from cleaning the hotel the possibly infected were staying. And that's all it took to spark an outbreak.

As a country we have handled this virus quite well. Victorians definitely dealt with it well but to some extent all states ,but I feel now Victorians and to a less extent NSW are the only ones well prepared to handle coronavirus having that baptism by fire. NSW has the most trumplike response out of the states thanks to their corrupt goverment but even they're doing quite well compared to the worst case of other countries hit badly. The other states didn't actually deal with covid and are not well prepared for an outbreak. WA hasnt had community transmission but if we get an outbreak we'll get wrecked b/c no one has worried about covid in 6 months, we just can't travel or have ppl travel here.

My sister and her kid were supposed home to fly when we WA opened the border on the 14th, 6 hours later we heard about the new outbreak in SA, the border was reclosed the next day! I booked the flights on 13th. We haven't seen each other in 15 months thanks to Covid, not sure when we will get to see the chance to be together again. It sucks but that's how WA has managed to avoid community transmission, we live in a covid free bubble. Hoping SA comes through of this better prepared .. that's going to be the silver lining if there is one (like Vic).

Dips 3x10xBW
 
Notes:
Failed the last rep of bench press .. bit embarrassing .. but i just ran out of juice .. my right hamstring cramped etc. all things considered it was a solid effort on a day i felt even warmups heavy. it took so much out of my upper body that i could only manage 3 reps with 35kg. i'd have to check but id done sets of 6-8s or something like that previously?

and i just want to make a note in passing that the rack pulls made my hamstrings v sore. good stuff.
