Seated DB Press 50x3x12, 1x16
Supersetted:
Incline DB Curl 25x3x12, 1x18
Incline Tricep Press 118x3x10, 1x16
Musings: I take my super sweet time on those super sets... maybe instead of increasing the weight or reps I'll tighten up the timeframe. For your work density.
Although on the other hand.. I've been consistently doing this session separately from my bench/back day and increasing the density isn't really necessary. And I haven't had a dedicated "arm" day in decades. For your bro split.

Re: For Your Health (a hunk's log)
Yup, that. Dig it. I’m a metal guy and my only real exposure to industrial and related stuff is by way of Godflesh, and then old metal adjacent stuff like Aborym, Red Harvest, and their ilk. That said, if you haven’t, check out Heimataerde. Came across a disc in a used shop years ago and bought it because it looked like metal (this is pre smart phones and any ability to Google shit on the spot). It’s industrial / electronic but with a distinct medieval type sound, and fucking rules. I mention them anytime anyone likes anything even remotely adjacent. I wish this damn gym would clear out so that I could put it on the pa system right now.

I juuuuust started listening to Heimataerde (as per your recommendation), and I'm liking it so far.

Squat 295x6x5
(70%, H=333)
Deadlift 425x3@8
(85%)
I think I might have the deadlift yips (also called "the pulleys"). I never used to worry about deadlift form back when I was pulling PR's (though I always kept a flat back). Lately though, I can't seem to find a groove. Especially with regards to starting hip height. Sometimes I'm way too low, other times I'm almost stiff-legging it.
I'm going to try regular exposure to higher intensities and higher RPE with super low volume to get the groove back, since the groove doesn't really matter with low intensities far from failure.

I think that one’s the best (The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste). Psalm 69 may have been more popular though.

Inspired by @MarkKO, everything was E2MOM today. Which is still slow by his standards, but I was starting to let my rests get out of hand and it felt good to rein them in.
Bench 262.5x10x5
(70%, H=556)
Landmine Row 150x4x10
Musings: I pushed bench and chin ups with high reps and high RPE's last week, followed by incline dumbbell curls to failure. And my bicep tendons are still pissed about it- both proximally and distally. I think the curls are most to blame.

Re: For Your Health (a hunk's log)
Maybe 'slow' by my standards such as they are BUT that's double the amount of reps I do. There's no way in hell I'd be trying to do 5x10 in 10 minutes, or 10x5. Maybe 10x3, at most.broseph wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 2:19 pm 1/20/23

Squat 335x4x3
(80%, H=300)
Deadlift 425x3x2
(85%, H=264)
Banded Landmine Goblet Squat 145x3x20
Musings: The current plan is to slightly decrease per-session low bar squat stress while continuing to squat twice a week. Deadlift will be exclusively heavy and low volume to get low fatigue practice with bigger weights. Lower body accessories will fill the volume gaps.

Re: For Your Health (a hunk's log)
How is the Hanley fatigue metric working for you? I tried implementing it a while back and didn't really get much out of it, but I think I also ditched it too quickly.

It has worked well for me (in the way I’ve implemented it) but there some caveats;SnakePlissken wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 4:19 am How is the Hanley fatigue metric working for you? I tried implementing it a while back and didn't really get much out of it, but I think I also ditched it too quickly.
I’ve only used the metric within my interpretation of Hanley’s high volume low fatigue programming model.
You have to find the numbers that work for you, and each lift is different. Each lift is repeated every ~3 days for me, and I’ve found I need 500+ (Sometimes up to 700) for bench sessions at this frequency, but only 300-400 for squat. Deadlift is almost always low volume for me, and I squat and deadlift on the same day, so squat + deadlift = 500+. The only time I take a “light day” is to freshen up in the session before my planned 1-3RM.
The really important part, however, is volitional speed. I don’t think the high volume low fatigue model works with lower intensities (65-75%?) unless every rep is explosive. Every time I stall on this model, I realize I’ve been “going through the motions” and being lazy with the lower intensities.
