Feeling pretty fatigued this week and the loads used reflected that. One more week in this development cycle, I think. That’s as far out as my programming goes at this point. Sure feels like i could use a pivot week of sorts. We’ll see what this week brings.

Performance was down today. The bar just didn’t move like it has the last few weeks and perhaps the last ~month of development blocks are catching up. #rpeisbullshit

2ct paused high bar squat
up to 270x4@9, 250x4x3. These moved much better than last week. After reviewing I think my technique has just gotten a bit better with high bar in general. Probably just in time for them to exit my training :slight_smile:

On 172.5 set, I missed the third by launching it out in front. I didn’t grind on it too long before I racked it, took a moment, unracked it and got the last one.

460x1@8.5, 425x4@8.5, 400x4x2. A little overshoot on the single, a little under in on the heavy set of 4.

315x5, 360x1@8.5, 340x4@9, 315x4x3. Thought I was going to do fahves today. Glad I read my progrum.

comp press
185x1@8, 180x3@10(PR), 162.3x3x4 That PR set should have been @9. I did 177.5x3 and it wasn’t a 9, so i decided to go for it. Perhaps if I had jumped right there it would have been right.

10/1
comp squat
360x1@8, 360x1@8.5, 340x4@9, 315x4x3
I did 360 twice as I was experimenting with stance width. Narrower stance doesn’t seem to be good for hitting depth for me.

comp press
180x1@8, 185x0, 175x3@8.5, 160x3x4. So I tried 185 because I thought perhaps that it would go at about an 8 if I had good technique. Well, the bar was in the groove, just too heavy for today. I didn’t really grind on it. When I knew it was going to be a fight I just racked it. No need to grind something out right now. Looking back this was probably a dumb move. shrug. Then 175 moved a bit too fast for a true RPE 9. Meh. Sometimes the press vexes me.

Shoulder pain until I got it warmed up. Then it was pretty much gone.

Low Stress week. I haven’t had a block labelled low stress in quite some time! Such short training sessions, I’m not sure what to do with my hands…
