Squat -
297.5X3 @8
260X7 @7.5
255X7, 7 @7
Close-Grip Bench - 152.5X6, 6, 6 @7
45 lb. Plate Deficit DL - 210X7, 7 @7
First session of the new block. Some up's and down's. Projected starting weights were based of a TM based off last block's best lifts. TM was set around 92.5%, and on this day, everything came in closer to 90%. However, I also had some weird fatigue on this day due to some work stuff. So we'll see what happens on the 2nd session.
I'm also doing a bit more work on warm-ups with warm-up set reps mirroring work set reps. For the main lifts where there is a top set followed by back-off sets with different rep schemes, I'm trying starting warm-ups with the higher rep scheme, and then dropping to the top-set rep scheme for the last few sets. So for squats, I did sets of 7 up to 245 @~5, then did a triple with 275 @~6. I then went to 290, but 290 was suddenly @7.5, so I went up just a bit more to get an @8 which was the target.
Likewise, Squat back-offs were a bit harder to dial-in, but I got there.
Close-grip benches went a lot smoother.
I haven't done deficit DL in a while. We'll see how these go.
