Tonight’s session went very well. Focused and determined.

• V bar push downs, 50kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 70kg x failure

I think that’s everything.

I took my headphones tonight and I genuinely feel that this made me push harder as it is usually very quiet in the gym apart from banter. A bit of music gives me focus and helps me push harder. I felt sick after deadlifts as I pushed myself very hard. That’s the most reps I have done with that weight and it really did feel good throughout my whole body.

As for my progress with my weight, I feel that I am slowly progressing and I am on the right path. I also feel that I have a very good idea of how my body reacts to the way I lift weights and the exercises I perform.

That will do for now as I’m shattered…
