Sunday Training

I have been working flat out the past 2 weeks.  Been trying to fight off a cold for far to long. Today I decided to catch up on sleep instead of training in the morning.  Nationals is quickly approaching, so I went into to the shed tonight for some quick squats to get some blood in the legs.

This was not a good training day. First time Ive ever given up on training during a workout. Things did not feel strong. My Bodyweight is down. I have quickly forgotten to have regular meals, and seem to be paying for it.

No great speed on any of the squats, Lower back was not strong.  
The only thing I can take from this is that even on the worst of days I can grind out 190 - 200kg in wraps.
