Thanks! That clip was helpful. You're probably right that it is a weak point in my lift since they were significantly less than my comp dead.

Yea man, I'd stick with them until your block is over or until they start to get a little easier

Best of luck with the remainder man. Fair play for gutting it out despite the injury.

Last day of Bridge 1.0 for me. I'm on a work trip for the rest of the week. I'll be able to train again next Monday (12/10). I'll probably rerun the last two days of the Bridge. Or do some sort of two day LP. Donno. I hope to start my next program on 12/15. Looking at Montana Method, BBM-HLM, BBM-Pressing template. BBM-HLM seems like the most likely option.

I'll try to write up a retrospective when I have time.

Congrats on sticking with it and seeing it through. I hope that it was a useful experience for you.

I look forward to reading your take on it. I have two sessions left and will write something up too, when it's done. I'm leaning towards MM next, to try a new take on things. The cycles are much shorter, so there is not a huge buy in. Also it's free so I guess there is literally no buy in.
