Note: Very easy.

Sumodeadlift w/pause 5-7 cm above knees:

Note: Did'nt make any sense with the pause 5-7 above knees. I choose to pause it at the knees again after trying to pause in 5-7 above knees. Im consideren just to pause it at the knees whenever it says 5-7 cm above... Some input would be appreciated here!

Note: The Geared bench was allright today. Kept pressing lighter weights (using higher boards) since i am about to buy a new shirt. Hopefully i will bench in it friday next week. The idea is to gradually change the two back-off sets i have added to a 5/7,5 cm board.
The squat exercise was new to me and i did'nt cause me any problems.

Warm up

Geared squat:
5x1x90
4x1x105
3x1x125
3x1x140
Squat suit, knee wraps and belt on
2x1x160

French pres lying: 6x5
Db flies: 8x4
Sitting external rotation: 10x3

Stretch and foamrolling of the hips

Bw: 74,1

Note: Set up was better than usual in squat. My wrist is not affected that much, if at all. the 2x4x180 seems like at good weight today. All reps was good except one, were I tilt a bit backwards, but nothing dangerous. The bench press was really easy, i think that i have chosen to light a weight in the BP or that my bench is going through the roof really rapidly.
