June 4, 2023: BP (heavy)

Very busy time here of late. I took a lot of time off since my last lifting session because the stress of life has been adversely effecting my lifting, and vice versa. I know it's a few weeks before a meet, but it needed to happen. Two days ago: WM: 4 kg x lf x 5 Yesterday: WM: 4 kg x 1-2-3-4-5 lots of walking, bar hangs, stretching, etc. Today: walk break walk break BP: had thought of trying 72.5 after 67.5 last time, but 70 means a 1RM of 84, which is great, and will make me very happy, so 70 for today. 62.5 kg x 3, 70 kg x 5 x 5 - rest periods (end of one set to start of next) were 4, 4, 5, and 6 minutes, this based on past experience. NB: Shoulders feel _fantastic_ after all the windmills of the last few days. Left hammie cramp on final rep or two.
