All right, comments. I did this entire week while Augustine was sick. I managed to nail all my sets with perfect form but I could feel the weights getting heavier. I was already hitting PR on Squat, Bench, Row, and Press. This was last week's workout (27th Oct - posts now are 1 week delayed).

I was already struggling with my new press of 65kg this week and new row of 77.5kg. It's getting difficult and I need to microload with 1kg increments gradually. Gonna be making my own microweights with pennies! Wish me luck. Will keep posting even if nobody does (pfft!)
