Notes
-Yesterday's squat max left me pretty drained today. I also slept poorly. I decided to keep RPE at 8. The first two sets of bench I just wasn't warmed up.
-MP has been productive. I've enjoyed working with higher reps. I've built up a nice groove in preparation of heavier sets in the future. For the next mesocycle I'm dropping push press and moving to strict press 1x a week. One of the problems with this cycle was too many barbell lifts for assistance. I
Interesting you should say that about too many barbell lifts for assistance.
ReplyDeleteI found the exact same thing and am adjusting my lifts accordingly for this block.
Good stuff, Homeslice.
