Wait, you we're allowed to bench sets of 4@80?

8/2

Bench:
320x0
320x0
5x3@80% (265)

Really thought I would have 320 in me. Watching the video, don't understand how I missed it. I got it past my typical sticking point, but it looks like I actually came too far back toward my face too early...which has never happened before. Disappointing.

320 -

Squat:
365@9
3x5@68% (265)

I think I accidentally destroyed myself doing those rack pulls Tuesday. I felt fine during the day, but had lower back cramp during the hour drive to gym. It went away after benching, but squats still felt incredibly hard today. The 365 was supposed to be final warmup before 1@9 but ended up being @9. Volume work was feeling terrible, I stopped it after 3 sets

Set 1 -

10m Chins:
50@-50lbs in ~10m

[Mugaaz]

Wait, you we're allowed to bench sets of 4@80?

They were supposed to be 3 or less, but my spotter isn't going to hang around forever and doing 2 sets of 4 allowed me to cut 1 extra set and save time.

8/13

Squat:
2x5 + 3x4 @70% (275)

No issues.

Set 1 -

Bench:
1@85% (275)
2x5 + 4x4 @70% (225)

CGBP:
12@65% (205)

Yikes....that was an awful performance. I did 14 reps @ 215 back on 4/24. I only missed one of the bench sessions last week, crazy.



1arm DB rows:
Did 5x10@40lbs with 45s rest between sets.

Last week was a disaster due to having to switch jobs to a work from home setup which required a lot of changes to the house, additional furniture, and re-organizing. All that craziness has past, no more missing sessions.

8/15

Squat:
Warmups as prescribed
1@80% (315)
1@85% (335)

Keep getting pain in right thoracic erector after unracking each set and standing up in full extension

335 -

Bench:
Warmups as prescribed
1@85% (275)
1@90% (290)

I wasn't ready for handoff on top single, didn't have any leg drive. Went ok though.

290 -

Deadlift:
5x4@70% (363)

Deadlifts seemed to make the thoracic erector pain from squatting subside

Set 1 -
