DB Curls - 25sX13, 10

Conditioning - Treadmill HIIT; 7 rounds

Everything felt pretty good on this day.

Quad pain was barely a tickle during squats, even if it's still causing me distraction outside of the gym, and Squats generally felt the best they have in a while.  I had an e-mail consult with one of the rehab specialists from BBM, and they recommended staying this course for another week or so, but dropping leg press and belt squat.  My plan for an accumulation block following this with sets of 6-8 and RPE 6/7 was agreed with. Caution was to just keep an eye on tonnage, to make sure there's not a huge jump in the next 4 weeks or so.

Bench-Grip Press didn't feel quite as natural on this day for some reason.  Had more trouble finding the best grip so that the bar path felt smooth.

Per BBM, I'm going to discontinue the leg press in this block.  Frankly, my left medial hip/adductor area that was hurt for so long earlier this year hasn't been loving the single-leg press, and I'd been considering dropping it for that reason anyway.

Dips felt good with more reps while depth stays good.

Pull-downs and curls were done.
