RX was for 3x20, rest-pause style. But I was listening to this podcast the other day and wanted to try it. Liked it. Gonna do this instead of rest pause on assistance movements more often. First set was a bit light. 2 rounds was more than enough.
Abs/Calves Supersets:
3 rounds of standing calf raises, 80lbs x 20 into cable crunches, 27.5kgs x 20 with no rest.
And here's a video. Because I know you all wanna see me doing myoreps of leg extensions so much (lol):

As noted above, spent a lot of time thinking about how to train this week, and the next few weeks, and even this year. Do I deload and have a recovery week, do I just keep smashing through, do I just rest, and what do I do longer term. Bought two RP books yesterday (SPoST and the new 'How Much Should I Train') and started reading the latter. My head is ready to explode from thinking about it.
Anyway, fuckit. Decided to just do one mesocycle of 8-5-2 powerbuilding type training, but as a compromise versus deloading/resting, try and keep intensity around @8 for this week at least so I don't kill myself straight up. Hopefully I'll peak a little bit for the BBM seminar and after that I'll reassess my training plans. Really like Andy's programming, but also thinking about taking it to the next level with some more personalised coaching. Who knows.
Cried off work today because I slept so shithouse last night and woke up with a headache. Got rid of it by mid morning, so trained. Got it all done in 77 mins, really happy with how this went, and completely happy with my decision to go this way. Except I almost fell down the stairs afterwards haha. Legs are buggered. Have a great day
