Calves are still painful so the squats were done with a slower eccentric, and I tried to work on the speed. The rep set wasn't as bad as I thought. I think I probably had 2 more reps in the tank. Pause benches on the other hand, were incredibly tough today. The fatigue really set in and today I wasn't able to relax the right areas properly, so I realized my arms were pretty tensed for most of the sets. By the time I got to the 125kg series, I had to break it down to 4 sets instead of 3. Very inefficient benching today.
