Congrats on the PR!

I'm curious why you switched to HBBS from LBBS.

[cmoney]

Mostly just to do something new for a while, and it's easier without having to think much about it. I'm sure if I do another meet I'll go back to lowbar just for the el bees.

DL w/belt:
425x1 @6.5
455x1 @8 or 8.5, hard to say
375x4x5 @6, 6, 6, 6.5, 6.5

Bench:
190x4 @6
215x1 @6.5
230x1 @8
190x4x4 @6.5, 6.5, 6.5, 6.5

felt great today

303 Tempo Squats:
185x10 @7
190x10 @7.5
195x10 @8
185x10 @8

whatevs.

circuit:
tricep PDs: 80x15, 15, 12, 12
ez bar curls: 55x15x4

time: 113m
SRPE: 7.5

Felt great through the DL and bench, and finished all main lifts in under 100m which was fine, but tempo squats took a lot out of me, then changing shoes, schlepping to other side of gym, etc, then the 4 rounds of arm work took a while and I was fairly gassed after this.

Quick session. All I had time for.

20 sessions kept, 0 skipped (this includes GPP days which I might leave out from now on)

[cmoney]

skipped Friday's workout. Oh well.

8/5/19: w5d1
HBBS w/belt:
335x4 @6.5
375x1 @6.5
405x1 @8
335x4x4 @6.5, 7, 6.5, 7

second to last set felt incredible.

Press w/belt:
140x4 @7
155x1 @7
165x1 @9
135x4x4 @6.5, 6.5, 7, 7

press continues to be shitty.

Skipped final lift (3ct paused benches x10) due to time. Going to do them tomorrow and skip the 530 tempo squats, as I have had something annoying going on with a left hip flexor/groin area.

time: 70ish minutes
SRPE: 6

21 sessions kept, 1 skipped

8/6/19: w5d2

DL w/belt:
375x4 @6.5
425x1 @6
465x1 @8.5
380x4x5 @6, 6.5, 6.5, 7, 6.5

great. And I came in feeling absolutely miserable, mentally/emotionally.

Bench:
195x4 @7
220x1 @6.5
235x1 @8.5
195x4x5 @6.5, 7, 7, 7, 7.5

OK.

3ct Pause Bench:
135x10 @7
140x9 @10 (failed 10th)

lol. guess there's a reason these were scheduled on d1 instead of d2. Was totally fried. I've always struggled with upper body muscular endurance anyway. 7th rep flew. 8th rep way slower. 9th rep ruh-roh.

time: 90m
srpe: 6.5

22 sessions kept, 1 skipped

8/8/19: w5d3

530 Tempo HBBS:
255x4 @6.5
265x4 @7.5
275x4 @8.5
260x4x2 @8, 8.5

I downloaded a metronome app. I set it at 75bps and used that. 60bps too br00tal. I liked it. It also doesn't interrupt the music, just clicks on top of that to keep count. I'll try it with paused DL tomorrow.

Floor Press:
195x4 @6
205x4 @7.5
215x4 @9
205x4x3 @8, 8.5, 9

Went OK. expect this to go up pretty quickly.

Incline CGBP:
115x10 @6
125x10 @7.5
135x10 @9
125x10 @9

I guess floor press interferes with this less than WGBP.

time: 83m
SRPE: 6

kinda meh session. Bit hungover and nutrition been wack past couple of days.

23 sessions kept, 1 skipped

2ct Paused DL:
365x4 @8
365x4 @8
375x4 @9
355x4x2 @8, 9

Used the metronome again. Frickin hard. I imagine all my heavy 2ct paused DLs prior to this were 1ct.

tng Bench:
195x4 @7
200x4 @8
205x4 @9
195x4x3 @8, 8, 8

hips and lowback on fire.

overall a very taxing session. Was yawning through all the 2ct paused DL.

Low-stress week, which is much appreciated as last week I was pretty crap with nutrition, plus sister was visiting so boozed a little bit, and I was still fairly sore coming into this session from Friday's DL mayhem. Pleasantly surprised to feel good enough to go up in weight on the squat, though it ended up being a bit harder than what was targeted. Press finally felt decent.
