Funny thing is that I've not been overly sore from my workouts over the last few weeks and not too sure why. 
Usually I get pretty major DOMS from squats but only really notice it walking up stairs. I think this high straight leg deads help a lot. They are labelled as the "tonic" in the programme. 
I'm definitely growing tho, noticing some major changes in shape of quads

Probably have gotten used to the depth and volume you've been cranking for the last wee while. Pause squats are a good'un if you are looking for some DOMs. You train at a good clip and that can be another factor with DOMs imo. 
Can always fall back on 10*10 squats at 100kg if you are really keen to feel some next (5 days!) pain :whistle:

JK

Yeah next week is gonna be a change up week

The stupid girl slept in again today so gave up waiting for her at 6am and came to work.
 
Will pop in later in the day for cardio and mobility

Paekakboyz

What a dumbass, you had one job ffs! Thought you were quite restrained on your FB post. You should have started a circuit outside the gym!

JK

Yeah wasnt too bad as was mobility day so wasnt all amped up on pre. One of my mates though was pinging hard and in a bit of a rage at not being able to lift heavy stuff

JK

Popped in 430ish for 20mins HIIT on the cross trainer then mobility work for hips and shoulders and some abs work. 
Gave the gym manager a bit of shit too for a laugh

But you got in there and did work bro! That's one massive benefit of how dedicated you are to your training. You get those meh training days, or when you aren't quite feeling it. But then you get those beastmode days where you just smash it, and the buzz is EPIC!!
