Was a little all over the place hitting RPE targets on the lower body lifts today, but still a fairly solid session. I'm writing this a few days after the fact and having been sick all weekend, so my impressions of the lower body lifts are also fairly fuzzy.
I guess the top double on DL could have gone up like 5 lbs. to hit the @9 target, but knowing I was going to be squatting right after, I didn't want to push it. Likewise the back-off sets could have gone up 5-7 lbs to try and hit @8, but I'm always conservative on DL day.
By the end of the Pause Squat sets, I did try to push the weight up a little bit closer to the RPE target.
First time doing Axle Bench. Decided to add it in after talking to a guy at the gym that was using it quite a bit. He suggested a 10% offset and that ended up being right on the money. Potentially a very useful supplement in that regard, as it seem highly specific to the comp bench with the set-up being entirely identical (grip-width, ROM, etc.), but the thicker grip seeming to necessitate a drop in absolute intensity. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
All video is of top sets and final work sets.
