StrongLifts 5x5 (Part 2), Week 2, Day 2

Workout was good today. Nothing out of the ordinary really - other than the gym being crowded as all hell at 7:30am for some reason. Strange.

Once again I struggled with the backoff set on the benchpress. I also dropped the last rep on my 5x5 row, but I rested and then did it again - so no worries. I think I was just tired (not getting enough rest in between sets). I sorta tore through everything this morning for some reason. Not sure why I was being so impatient.

I think de-loading the weights was the right thing to. The 70kg squat today was tough, but not as tough as I remembered it. So, either my memory is goofy or I did actually improve in the last week or so enough to be able to handle it. We'll see where I get to when I hit 75kg again - that and the 90kg deadlift was where I started to hurt my back before.
