    Sick. Mostly just tired, bit of a cough. Took it easy but didn't feel like skipping completely.

    Deadlift 60 2 x 5, 85 x 5, 100 x 2, 110 x 2. 122.5 did not move more than an inch.

    Slingshot bench (trying this out to see if it helps keep elbows in place) 20 x 5, 30 x 5, 40 x 5, 45 x 5, 50 x 5, 52.5 x 3, 55 x 3, 57.5 x 3. Stopped here as getting hard to lockout.

    Slept pretty badly last night - we had a wild hedgehog who needed help and was a bit restless wondering if he was OK. Also, he somehow squeezed through a 2-inch hole and nearly got stuck in a hole.

    Press 15 x 5, 20 x 5, 25 x 3, 30 x 1, 36 4 x 4, 1 x 2.

    Slingshot bench 55 3 x 3 (3 min rests) Slight pause on chest.
