Week 10 Day 3 - Intensity Week 1
Energy was down today and I didn't feel strong. Back to normalcy, I guess. I got weighed this morning and my weight has continued to drop through the week. I was at 124.4 Kg (273.7 lbs) which is where I was after one week of the program.
Squats felt kind of heavy throughout. When I got to 140Kg I reckoned I was in trouble. The last set was hard with three ever slower reps and the next three weeks are going to be tough on these. It's fantastic, though, to be within spitting distance of a four-plate triple. 165Kg x 3 PR
Bench was fine. I bumped up to 130 to take up some slack I reckoned I had. My arch collapsed during the second set which made it hard. Third set solid. I did this weight for five triples a few months back. I settled for a couple of sets of 5 for the back-off. I'm going to try to work the close-grip back-off for two sets of 5 with increasing weight for a while.
I didn't raise the weight on the rows since I only did one set last week at the top weight. Second set felt hard, third one felt easy.
My decline sit-up is improving, maybe due to the weight loss

. I got two sets of 20 today and had hopes of a third but ran out of steam. I did the missing reps but my hands had left my head by then.
It's been two weeks now since last injection so I'm about at the point where the synthetic stuff is running out but my own isn't really going yet. Libido down, which sucks, and I've lost some of that mellowness and contentment. I'm going to be running on anti-oestrogens and concoctions of herbs for a few weeks. I'll also be starting the creatine up again tomorrow.
