W2 Ditillo Bench

Went to go to last weeks working weight on bench and failed. That sucked. Dropped 10kg. Lack of zazz and my frigging shoulder is bugging me again. Left some effort for next time.

W1 Ditillo Swiss Bench

February 14, 2026

A little tired. Gave blood today and wasn't well hydrated first. I got a bit woozy after. Should've used 85-87k to start the rep work on the bench. Next time. 

Had a couple of spooks with the bar and plates catching the safety strap nuts. Go back to pipe safeties after today. Live and learn. 

Dropping to 2 work sets for the isolation movements. We'll see.
