Oof. What a bad idea. Wife and I took the day off and went out for a big, late breakfast. This was my second time recently trying to go train after something like that, and it was terrible. I gave myself and hour buffer between finishing eating and getting to the gym, but I still felt bloated and low-energy.
This impacted Squats the most of all. Maybe because it was the first lift, or maybe because it was the heaviest. Frustrating, because it indicates a regression in e1RM, and this late in the cycle that could be true, but because I decided to train under drastically different conditions, I really don't know, and will have to wait until next Squat session to see what's happening.
Close-grips still went up in intensity at target RPE. However, as a % of comp, this is the 2nd week in a row that the lift's progress has dropped off, which may presage a drop off in comp progress. Still not sure if I'm measuring something useful there.
Deficits continue to progress fairly linearly. However, opposite of close-grip bench, it seems to be progressing more than the comp lift. Still circling the value of these comparisons. I suspect what I want, long term, is to identify supplmental lifts that perform at a predictable % of the comp lift, and progress at a fairly 1:1 ratio. To what ever degree that is measurable and predictable, I imagine I am in the earliest stages of tracking it.
All video is of top sets and final work sets.
