Really good bench session at the gym this morning (not something I say often!). Hit 90 kg (198 lb) for a straightforward double (not RPE 10 but I couldn't have got another, if that makes sense??), then 2x8x70 kg (154 lb) which was very comfortable.

Then OHPs topping out at 4x50 kg (110 lb), the last rep of which was basically a push press but my shoulders were toast at that point.

I've been pretty stressed and not slept well this week (hello, tariffs), so this felt great.

i usually use thick yoga blocks - not only for yoga but also a lot for calisthenics and stretching too. the thick ones are more stable and i find them a lot more comfortable. lately i have seen them only in Prisma (Finland) and they also have the cork blocks - they feel different but also very good and from what i saw, they are the cheapest there. 9.99 per one block. i didn´t check prices in internet though.
but if you need couple of blocks right now - i´d recommend these ones.

Had another good week on the #strengthtraining front; I'm nowhere near where I was 5 months ago, but another 4 days in the gym were a good move in the right direction.

I've started squatting on my #deadlift days and deadlifting on my #squat days, and intentionally lowered the volume on my main squat day. The effect of this is that I can walk at the weekend but have done _more_ squat volume over all this week. And it feels good!
