Notes: I called the top DL single an @7, but it looked super easy on film. The fact I filmed a few of these lifts is usually a good sign that I was ‘into’ this session. First time in a while.

Notes: I may want to try experimenting with de loads-a little. I’ve had a 2-3 week run of adding a set to the bench, and weight via ascending sets with the squat. Maybe the fatigue snuck up on me? Just talking out loud. The 2 minutes of hard work on the bike was tough. I want to add these back in, especially with hiking season coming up. They will definitely help with the steep climbs.

Notes: Never did SSB benches before. 40 lbs per db is about all I can get in the handles I have right now, so if I want to progress with these I may have to up the reps and shorten rest times.
