Bench -

Deadlift -
300X3 @8
250X7 @6.5
Everything went fairly well on this day as I would normally expect for the end of the 2nd microcycle. I had an extra day or two off before this session, so I was a little concerned that I would have lost some fitness, but it wasn't really an issue.
Pause Squats moved well, and ended up being a slightly larger than expected jump in weight.
Top set of bench was about where I expected it to be, but the back-off sets didn't increase quite as much. All good.
Deadlift was a little tricky as it was feeling a bit heavy as I approached the top set. Ended up getting the looked for weight, but it was minimum @8 (can't bring myself to write 8.25 yet). Second week in a row of the back-off weight coming in a little under on RPE. I'm still not comfortable adding an extra set at that rep scheme just to grab another 0.5 RPE, but for next week, I will look to have a smaller load drop for the back-off.
All videos are of top sets or final back-offs.
