*Day 1 of a new diet. I'm working with a dietitian from Barbell Medicine. BW should start to drop going forward, and training will have to be adjusted as necessary. That could go a couple of ways. The one thing I want to make sure is that I'm both keeping practice of high intensity weights in the program, but that I'm also keeping plenty of volume in. So, will continue with top sets and back-off sets, but top sets may stop majority 5s and 3s, and become something more like 1-3 heavy-ish singles before back-off work.
Top set of squats was pretty good on this day. Felt @ 9, looks @ 8.
Back-offs were all fast. Last back-off felt @ 7.5, looks @ ~7.
As the Press has continue to feel harder than "it should," I've decided to switch from the lower incline bench for my Medium pressing movement to a higher incline. To start, I just used last week's top-set weight of Press as my weight. Maybe on the light end of the correct range. Last set felt @ 8.5, looks @ 6.5. It feeling so much harder is probably a fatigue issue plus a bit of "novelty" of the movement. I may need to seek some guidance on "feels" RPE vs. "speed" RPE.
Chins were fine. They continue to not feel any stronger, but also not feel any weaker. It will be interesting to see what happens with them as I drop weight.
Rows were very easy. Likely far too easy. Last set felt @ 6, looks @ 6.
