This 20-rep set was absolutely brutal. Took me a full three minutes and lots of focused breathing. The first ten reps were hard but I felt competent. I had a stupid night Tuesday so I didn't workout Wednesday and I think my body is still a bit lagged out. Happily I got to bed at a reasonable hour last night and woke up at a respectable hour this morning. I knew I could do 110kg, since I could do 107.5kg, but, holy mackerel, it was at least 70% mental exertion. My feet were getting numb and my lower half was shaking a bit between reps near the end. Good stuff! I only started really groaning and grunting the last 6 reps or so. I'll do 112.5kg on Saturday, hopefully before lunch, so I have the weekend to recover for 115kg on Monday. God help me! This shit is real!
