Put in an order for a compact foldable exercise bike and a mini 45 lb Muay Thai bag which I hope is heavy enough to not go flying everywhere. The bike was intended for my heel which is thankfully getting better finally.
Squatted 500 a few days ago and benched 350 yesterday. Trained my friend on the squat day. Haven't done boxing in a while with him.

Felt pretty weak yesterday. That 350 was a bit of a grinder. Maybe something to do with all the extra volume I'm doing lately via two a day workouts.

Mat pulled 565x1 off of 5. Everything felt light until the 565 which I couldn't even move on the first attempt. Caused a headache every time I tried to break it off the mat. That single was actually pretty smooth but as I lowered it I felt my body just shut down.

Removed the 35s off each end and did 500 for eight easy touch and go reps. I think with some recovery I'm going to crush this soon.

plus this was a victory because my heel has been getting better and I wasn't sure if I could handle this and especially the 500 squat. Glad to know this won't set me back after all.

I'm going to go in for some lunch and to let my heel recover before I go back in the evening to do some squat accessory work.
