        • Week 3 day 1 on the low fatigue strength template

          Squat, no belt: 237.5x5x4@7. Three to four minutes rest.

          Paused bench: 183.75x4x3@7, 7.5 by the third set; x2x2@7. Three to four minutes rest.

          DB seated press: 50 (each) x8x3@7. Two to three minutes rest.

          Weighted close-grip push up: 45x8x3@8. Two to three minutes rest. I placed my hands on two stacks of bumpers so I could get a full range of motion while wearing a weight vest, and my feet were elevated to the same height as the bumpers. These were tough.

          BB curl: 65x14x1@9; x12x1@9; x10x1@9. Two to three minutes rest.

          The workout took a bit over 90 minutes. Body weight: 175 first thing in the morning.

            Deadlift, no belt: 325x5x4@7. Three to four minutes rest.

            Two-board bench: 190x5x1@7; 190x4x3@7. Three minutes rest.

            BB split squat: 65x10x3@6. Two to three minutes rest.

            Seated cable leg curl: 20x20x1@7; 30x12x1@8; 30x10x1@8. Two to three minutes rest. These were interesting: sitting upright with my leg extended and my foot hooked into a strap at the end of a cable. Then I curled the extended leg down and in. Much harder than a prone leg curl.

            Weighted dips with 25-pound weight best: 12x3@8. Two to three minutes rest.

                    Deadlift with belt: 330x5x5@7. Three to four minutes rest. I can see why the template specifies a belt here--lots of reps!

                    Two-board bench: 192.5x5x1@7; 192.5x4x3@7. Three to four minutes rest.

                    Bulgarian split squat with bands: 10x2@7; 8x1@7; 7x1@7. Two to three minutes rest. (The template called for plain old BB split squats but I felt like switching things up a bit. )

                    Seated cable single-leg curl: 30x12x3@7. Two to three minutes rest.

                    Dips with 25-pound weight vest: 12x3@8. Two to three minutes rest.

                        Banded deadlift with rogue red band: 295x5x3@7; 295x4x1@7. Three to four minutes rest.

                        High-incline bench: 146.25x3x5@7. Four minutes rest.

                        Seal row: 35x10x2@6; x8x1@6; x7x1@6. Two to three minutes rest. I did these instead of the prescribed lever rows just for a change of pace. Surprisingly challenging.

                        Reverse nordic at 6-0-0 count: 6x3@7. Two to three minutes rest.

                        DB skull crusher with 25-pound DBs: [email protected]; 11x1@9; 10x1@9. Two to three minutes rest.

                          Squat with belt: 242.5x5x5@7. Three to four minutes rest.

                          Paused bench: 186.25x[email protected]; 186.25x3x2@7; 186.25x2x5@7. Three to four minutes rest.

                          Seated DB press: 52.5 (each) x8x1@7; x8x1@8; x7x1@10; x1x1. Two to three minutes rest. I should have backed off a bit on the number of reps in the second and third sets to keep the RPE at 7.

                          Weighted close-grip push up: 35x8x3@7. Two to three minutes rest.

                          DB curl: 30 (each) x10x3@8. Two to three minutes rest.
