Squat PB

2k warm up as usual, c. 2:00 r24 ehr 150

Mile TT - target 1:40 r22

Stopped at half way point, 1:39.7 r22 - not in the right mindframe for it.

Set 1k aiming for r20, stopped after 250m or so at 1:35.

3 x 150m on 3 mins rest (aim was to see how many at sub 1:15 were possible)

22.3s - 1:14.3
22.3s - 1:14.3
22.5s - 1:15.0

Ok, I was a bit tired from last night and the previous aborted attempts, but still - 150m is a LOT harder to hold at 1:14 pace than 100m for more than 1 rep, even with a longer rest.

Enough of the erg tonight, it's not happening...

Squats

8 x 110kg
4 x 140kg
2 x 160kg
1 x 170kg
1 x 190kg PB
1 x 200kg PB

Felt very strong on these which was weird after feeling lethargic on the erg. Did 190kg for a PB on my own with safety bars in place on the half rack, just in case, then got a couple of spotters for the 200kg attempt. I took it down very slowly as far as I dared (almost horizontal thighs) and then drove upwards, nearly coming off the floor at full extension so more to come - possibly 220kg on a good day. Still, more than double the body weight, happy for now
