    Went ok today, but squats felt heavier than they should have. Not exactly sure why, but am heading into a deload next, which will be good. That will be the end of month 1 of the Boring But Big 3 month challenge. Next month I’ll still be sticking to the exact number of reps for each working set, but upping the assistance work from 50% to 60% numbers. Yep.

    Not sure I have a use for this, but it is definitely interesting. I’m quite a big Dropbox fan (referral link here: http://db.tt/hfiJvaL ) — but if you prefer to ‘roll your own’ - this is a great write up.
