Maintenance / Rehab Block. Week 10. Day 1.

BW - 230

Squats - 345X5, 5, 5

Press - 135X5, 5, 5

Pull-Ups - BWX2, 2, 1

Deadlift - 315X5

Pull-Downs (supinated) - X12, 9, 7 (straight-weight; same weight as previous)

Hammer Curls -
45sX5
35sX12, 10

Moved Squats back into LP mode to see if I can run them up a bit.  Definitely readjusting to what "heavy" sets across feel like, i.e. what it feels like when every rep isn't fast or "easy" all the way through.  I probably panicked a bit in the last session when that happened, but I got my mind more right coming into this one, and was able to approach it with more confidence.  Also, getting back into my old work set routine of making sure the unrack is stable before I walk it out, and making sure the bar is settled on my back between breath and rep.  Last set shown.

2nd day back to LP for Press.  These all moved very well.  Very happy with how it went.  Last set shown.

I Deadlifted for the first time in a couple of months.  Zero adductor tightness on this movement, although it's still tender outside of the gym.  Just did a set at 315 to feel it out.

As far as the assistance, I'm not caring about it as much now that I'm back on all the main lifts.  Pull-Ups were week, pull-downs and curls were both strong.
