Alright, I have both versions of PB1, so I decided to start with the older version today. The thing is, I could use both versions for more variation. Today’s session was GREAT. Rep pr’s, while not even overshooting RPE, as today was supposed to be @9. The squat felt easier than @9, which was very surprising.
squat 130 kg x 6, 135 kg x 6, 140 kg x 6 (was supposed to hit this but it was too light), 145 kg x 6@8,5 PR
leg press 130 kg x 10, 160 kg x 10, 180 kg x 10, 200 kg x 10@9?
First time doing leg press in a while so no idea what to use. The last set was maybe not @9, perhaps closer to @8 but the leg pump was @9 so I did not increase.
The theme with the presses was fatigue building in. Work capacity will surely improve later. At least I know now that next week’s close grip bench won’t be 82,5 kg.
deadlift 170 kg x 6, 175 kg x 6, 180 kg x 6@8.5
close grip bench 75 kg x 8, 80 kg x 8@8,5, 82,5 kg x 7@10
deadlift 170 kg x 6, 175 kg x 6, 180 kg x 6@8, 150 kg x 6
My back was very pumped. The 150 kg didn’t even feel too light. 170 kg would have been too much for the last set, I tried how it feels of the floor and was like “no”.
close grip bench 70 kg x 8, 75 kg x 8, 77,5 kg x 7@10???, 70 kg x 8, 70 kg x 5@9???
What is this? This was very weird. It is obvious that I was not recovered from the previous session. Maybe incline bench on this slot instead? I could have probably done 70 to 72,5 kg x 8 on an incline today as well, as it is a bit different…
db press 25 kg x 7, 15 kg x 2 sets x 12
10 kg less than usual but didn’t want to fail a rep after that close grip bench.
A longer break I knew in advance. There shouldn’t be other breaks like this in the near future. Due to this, I decided to switch to the new PB1… Why not. I like the “peak” better in the new PB1. Might not log everything, or I might.
squat 130 kg x 5, 135 kg x 5, 140 kg x 5@not @8 but whatever, it was a “longer” break, fine if this was @7.
