Maintenance / Rehab Block. Week 8. Day 1.

BW - 230

Squat - 205, 215, 225X15

Bench - 240X3, 2, 2

Pull-Ups - BWX3, 2, 2 (7 total reps)

RDL - 265X5, 5

Pull-Downs (supinated) - X12, 10, 10 (straight-weight; same weight as last time)

Hammer Curls -
40sX7
30sX10, 8

Starr Rehab Squats feeling good.  Almost no adductor discomfort on this day.  Added a belt back in for the final set.

240X3 is a Rep PR on bench.  Failed on the 3rd rep on the other two sets.  Everything felt pretty good.  Just at the upper limits of my strength where execution has to be absolutely perfect.  For instance, on the 2nd set, the 3rd rep touched too high, and that was enough to throw everything off.  All 3 sets shown.



Similar to chins, I reset my pull-ups to a stricter approach.  Full hang at the bottom, and trying to touch chest at the top.  Couldn't touch, but did pause all reps.

RDLs felt very strong today.  No racks available so had to pull from the floor, but no adductor twinges.

Got all my reps on pull-downs and so can up the weight on those next time.

Curl strength seems to have rebounded or improved slightly.
