HH - Reactive Training Log (RTS)

You at home or at the gym?

If you're at the gym, get on a machine and hit triceps extensions every session as a finisher. 3-5 sets of 10 at something kinda heavy. Should be no more than 10 extra minutes.

If you're at home, you're fucked.

CGBP: 260@8.5, 205x4x7@8-9

....

Really agitated with the low volume on my benching. I don't know if I'm still miscalculating the RPEs on these or what, or I just have piss poor weak-ass triceps or what.

If your CGBP is truely close grip, then yes RPEs will make no sense compared to your other lifts.
And dare I say, maybe to the point where they (RPE) are not useful, or at least, need to be interpreted in a totally different manner.

My CGBP bar speeds are insanely fast, but then fall off a cliff towards the end of a maxish set.
Fatigue sets in fast during a set, and leverages are shitty, even mild grinds do not happen.

Its either this (5 rep set):
---fast; fast; fast; med slow; fail---

OR (to stay away from failure):

---fast; fast; fast; fast; fast--- ... "did I even do anything just now" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll do a x1@8-9 with CGBP once a week. (I treat it like a Trained(tm) lift).
I'll get a spot from a local gym bro walking around . . . because I don't "trust" the lift.
. . . they always look at me like I am an idiot because the rep goes "way too easy". . . . like I'm a pussy, or like I'm trolling them or something.

...triceps porn...

If you're at home, you're fucked.

What about dumbbell overheads? Or with an ez bar? Or with a band attached like a cable would be?

Don't you know? You must go to failure on bench EVERY TIME.
How the fuck is he supposed to get his upright rows done brah???
