Workout Notes: It’s been a while since my arms shook quite like that on the bench. Combination cut and just the fact that paused bench is hard. I’m doing these much closer in weight to my primary lift than I am the other paused lifts at the moment.

Focusing on mind-muscle connection on the rows, particularly during the pause.

Workout Notes: Almost two weeks out of the gym due to work. Managed to run a bit in London last week, but no weights. Figured that restarting with the control days rather than strength would be logical.

Still, increased the weight on the pause squats. These really are great for control - I can see where my butt starts to lift a second before my chest on these during the work sets, instead of simultaneously as they should. Something to focus on! Better in the second set. 2 different kinds of pains on the first two reps of the last set, though, so I stopped there. Safe rather than sorry...

Dropped the weight on the paused deads due to poor form. I was breathing out at the top and unable to re-brace effectively. So I did 110s instead of 120s today.

Dropped 2.5kg from last time, since it’s been two weeks and I’ve been cutting, and it felt right. Should push upwards next time though!

Started a new program today after poor adherence (work) the last few weeks. I’m trying a new app that auto-generates a program that actually seems intelligent to me - we’ll see if it works after a month or three.

But it doesn’t export nicely.... ;(
