Yet another vote for the great title. Looking forward to seeing more of what you’re doing and how you push it forward.

Re: Death can have me when it has earned me
The planned horizontal-dominant pull workout felt decent today. I'm still basically LPing the Cybex Row, which I expect to max out in a few mesocycles at this rate. That is, of course, predicated on its SFR not dulling by that point (so far every objective and subjective marker for it is as fresh as the day I started using it).
I was a bit too lax on my daily conditioning though, but I did go for a 12,000 step walk down the River Thames (listening to music) so I wasn't completely aerobically inactive!
Cybex Row: 5(180lbx10)
Rotary Lat Pulldown: 4(17x15)
Cable Curl: 4(20kgx15)
Cable Flexion Row: 4(44kgx12)
Incline Dumbbell Curl: 4(10kgx13)
Rope Pushdown: 20kgx15,12,12
Rear Delt Flyes: 3(67kgx12)
Barbell Wrist Curl: 4(40kgx13)

Re: Death can have me when it has earned me
It takes a few warm-up sets to get the ol' synovial fluid adequately circulating around my creaky knees.

Re: Death can have me when it has earned me
Day 1
Let's try log a full training week this time. It's quite fun playing with strength curves on Prime Equipment. Nothing magical about it though, just a variation. That said, challenging where one is strongest on pressing (mid to end range) while simultaneously unloading a bit at the weakest point does "feel" significantly more difficult, rep to rep.
Prime Fitness Chest Press: 5(94kgx10) (Mid/End Bias)
Hammer Incline Press: 3(70kgx12), 70kgx10
Super-ROM Lateral Raise: 3(42.5kgx12)
Cable French Press: 26.5kgx15, 3(26.5kgx12)
Pec Deck: 3(100kgx12)
Rope Pushdown: 20kgx15, 2(20kgx12)
Rear Delt Flyes: 3(67kgx15)
Barbell Shrug: 3(60kgx13)

Not sure that I’m following - how are you accomplishing the “unloading”?lheugh wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 10:28 am Let's try log a full training week this time.

Re: Death can have me when it has earned me
Apologies, I phrased it a bit poorly! The weight is static throughout the ROM, but because of the design of the machine (with 3 pins), I've loaded it such that the moment arm is smallest at the bottom and increases during the concentric (I.e., the plates move further away from the axis of rotation). So, relatively speaking it feels heavier (more weight distribution of the load) during the mid to end range, and feels.a fair bit lighter at the bottom, where pressing is strongest. The idea being to confer a more profound stimulus since typically where one fails at the bottom, the mid to end range could theoretically keep going. So, I'm reaching an RPE 8 on the entire ROM as opposed to where I'm weakest, if that makes sense.DCR wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 10:54 amNot sure that I’m following - how are you accomplishing the “unloading”?lheugh wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 10:28 am Let's try log a full training week this time.

Day 3: Belt Squat (Calves to Hams to Build the Yams)

I appreciate the vote of confidence, good sir! I look at them and I see long, dangly, orangutan arms.
