Wilhelm's Will To Power

[Wilhelm]

EDIT TO ADD - Got my shit together, and gott this done after a nap.

Wednesday Mar 31st 2021

I'm calling it today.
Tendons in arms need a break after yesterday's labor.
Oh, and i apparently was too sore to sleep more than 4 hours as well.

This is day 1 of a new DL block that starts with a big deload.
Last week was 455X1 (second heaviest ever single) and 395 for 5 sets of 4 (reps X sets PR)

I'll just begin the block with the scheduled week 2 of the first cycle, which will still be a significant deload with a
438 single and 5 sets of 4 w/ 380.
I just couldn't see the benefit of doing today's scheduled 428 single and sets w/ 358

I've got the bar on the DL platform, and have been getting ready to to go, but it's actually not the right choice.
I have to put one in the "missed" column now, which sucks, but my important yard project is done, and this session is not critical to my success.
Rest at this point is actually more productive.

Cautious descent, so no stretch reflex. Had a stich in lower back upon waking.
I'm actually pleased with this. Got the scheduled single done, and did not injure myself. :lol:

Didn't want to get back under for another single, so just did 4 reps on the last set to hit the 22 rep RX

I'm getting the "set the lats" part finally.
Really feel it, and it makes the pause easier.

Little harder on multi reps sets, but taking the time at the top, maybe using a "sip" breath could help.
Looking forward to getting this dialed in.

A tale of three singles. Unintentional pause on ascent/A little wild/Slow, but controlled.
At least they were all deep.
Added the 3rd today b/c 405 is coming Friday, and i wasn't thrilled with the 1st two.

A triple and the last set quad.
First rep of the quad was *just* deep, but i was pleased to finish with 4 reps.
