Starr Rehab Squats continue. Adductor was bugging me a bit during the first set, but not the others. Weight has gotten heavy enough now, though, that low-back pump and conditioning are making it very difficult to complete all reps with good form. Gonna drop on down to 10 reps per set. Last set shown.
Went into this session with a lot more intel on using RPE in the BBM way (gleaned from some YouTube videos by Alan Thrall). Using the RPE chart, I was dropping the weight on the first and 2nd sets, and the third set would project to be around where it's been. 120X5 was supposed to be @6, but it felt much heavier than expected and was @7. Based on my understanding of the BBM approach to RPE, I should have stayed there at the next set. However, Press has been pretty demoralizing the last few weeks, and no progress has really been apparent. The prospect of reducing average intensity again was a real bummer. I'm about to go out of town to attend to some family issues, and really didn't want to leave it on this note, knowing I wouldn't be training again for several days. So instead I just maxed out. 165X1 is a Rep PR. That was nice to hit. Some might say that indicates progress, but frankly 165 has been right around my projected max for a while. Anyway.
Chin-Ups were okay at the new, stricter, double-paused, chest to bar execution. 1 less rep than last time, though. Whatever. Press PR.
RDL felt pretty strong. Grip seems to be the limiting factor right now. May just pack straps next time.
Got a couple more total reps on pull-downs with the same weight as last time.
Curl strength was about the same.
