Comments:
Single for Squat felt ok but back offs felt a bit heavy. Did not eat my regular breakfast so carbs were much less before working out. Still, 148 is 3 more kg than last week so I will take it.
Dropped the weight on Press (from 75 last week) and it was much better this time @8. Also back offs felt nice.

Week 3
Day 2
Time: 2h+
Comp Deadlift
1 x 200@8 (Felt better than last week. Deadlift has been feeling off but its coming back)
(-20%) 160 (5x5) (Back offs feel ok at the beginning but as the sets progress they get harder. Resting 3 minutes so eventually, I will get used to it)

Comp Bench
1 x 120@8 (Feeling nice. Worked on my arch and leg drive. Also looking at the ceiling instead of the bar really helps with balance)
(-20%) 95 (5x6) (Had TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES so workout was a bit compromised)

4-0-0 Tempo Squat
10 x 80@7
10 x 90@8
10 x 95@9 (Just did 1 set instead of 2 because of technical difficulties and also weight was significantly less than what i think I could hit)
