Kind of a low-intensity, medium RPE day. I'd been sick for a few days, and then really busy, and that kept me out of the gym for about a week and a half. And I'm about to be out of town for a week for Thanksgiving. So I didn't want to think of this as a "regular" programming day, and decided to push some lighter weight on the barbell lifts, and just get some volume in on the bodyweight movements.
All that being said, 185X10 is a Rep PR on Bench. Probably RPE 8. One more rep without a spotter for sure.
No weight added for Chins and Dips. Just getting some volume in, especially on Dips following a higher rep set of Bench.
I was really close to pulling 405, and I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do on DL. With being sick and away from the gym, I didn't feel confident coming in and pulling a heavy double. And about to be gone for a week, I was worried about how that would effect my training. Ultimately, I decided to be conservative. Reset the DL along with everything else, but also plan to advance with 10 lb. jumps for a while. The goal is to try and get DL to pull even with squats on intensity, and then drop to 5 lb. jumps.
275X10 matches a Deadlift PR, hilariously, from October, 2012. I didn't know that when I went into this. The Greyskull reset was going to have me starting at 295XAMRAP where 9 would be a PR, so I just decided to do 275X10 today. When I went to look this up later, it turns out I haven't gone over 7 reps on DL since May of 2014, and hadn't gone over 8 since 2012.
What was surprising about the movement itself, was how fatigued my actual legs started getting. I squatted 285X10 as recently as June of this year, so that was unexpected. Still, everything felt solid, and looks okay. I'll be gone for a week, and then I'll come back and really start the GSLP in earnest after the holiday.
