Cable Curls (level 6) x 14+6+5

Reverse Cable Curls (5) x12

Seated Calf Raise 110kg x10 – Was supposed to do these on the Smith machine today, but the step is too rounded and my feet were slipping too much.

Stiff-Legged-Deadlift 60kg x13+6+6 – Still having postural issues with my deadlifts

Leg Press 200kg x7, 160kg x20 – Really focused on trying to keep good form. Any heavier and my bum would come off the seat and I tended to bounce out of the bottom position.

Ab-sling knee raises – 10 knees to right, 10 to left, 10 straight knees-to-elbows

Again, felt like I needed to do something with upper body so did some ‘V’ pulldown to chest (10) x12+5+4
