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.
