Training day before a camping trip. Decided to play around with RPE a bit (shhhhh, don't tell). Was going to to shoot for 3 sets of 5 @ RPE 7, 8, 9. Regular programming called for 142.5 for 3X5, so I was targeting that for my final set. That ended up shooting me in the foot a bit. 125X5 felt a bit heavier than expected. I jumped to 130X5 hoping for an @7, but it ended up being more of an @9. Went up to 135, and it was just about a limit set. Not sure what the take-away is. Either it was a bad day, and I wouldn't have gotten the 142.5 for sets across even though I got 140X5X3 last week, or the additional volume of warm-up sets being all 5s generated enough fatigue to limit performance at higher intensity. Probably the only real take-away is that I made a bunch of changes at once, and now I can't determine causality.
Chin-ups went well, though. More total reps in the same number of sets.
Upped the weight on pull-downs, and they really dropped off. Will try that same weight next time.
Got to 12 on both sets of curls, so will up the weight next time.
