My meet is in just under two weeks so hopefully I can train through without disruption. At the moment I have quite a bit of discomfort, but I can still lift OK.

Cycle 2
Week 5, Day 1
Bodyweight: 96.0 kg
Not moving up. I'm expecting a bump in macros this week. Only five hours of sleep last night.

After a slightly hairy rep at 165 kg last week I didn't push up the singles this week. Both moved well and I nearly had them @7.5 and @8.5. Bar path was a bit inconsistent on my triples, but my top set was a triples PR nontheless. Should probably have taken a smaller weight drop (150 kg?) as the last two sets were a bit lower RPE than Rx'ed. The final set was surprisingly easy after I slowed down my descent a bit. Back is still a bit sore, but triples are less fatiguing than higher rep ranges.

Poor,especially compared to my great performance on Saturday. Possible reasons:
- Bad sleep;
- High volume on Saturday;
- Equipment much poorer than Saturday; and
- Injured left arm;
Oh well, I did the work and that was that.
