Monday
Hatfield Squat
Huge faff setting up for the top set as I was fine with the lower weights but the bare bending meant the top weight was still inside the deep J-Hooks. All belted, wrapped etc and had to lower the set up which meant getting ready all over again. Strength problems lol

shot my both with the above so was not ok to hit 18 reps with the top weight here
