Warm-up/Mobility
Agile 8, there was a class going on in the only free space in the gym so I just hit the treadmill doing hiit sprints.

Hang Clean - worked up to a TM of 80kg. Realised it was light so I might increase after this cycle

Squat - 10 total reps TM
Was training fasted so I unfortunately wasn’t able to hit TM exactly so I removed 10kg and hit 160kg for 3x3

Bench 5x5 SSL
Still don’t know if I’m doing SSL right lol, but did 80% 5x5. 75kg was moving OILY. Must’ve been the Kirk Franklin :joy_cat:
