Block 5. Cycle 4. Session C.

BW - 221

Deadlift -
385X2 @9
330X6, 6, 6 @8

Pause Squat - 262.5X5, 5, 5 @8

Axle Bench - 190X5, 5, 5 @~8

Had a couple of extra days off due to schedule and that may have contributed to a very nice session.

385X2 @9 projects to an e1RM PR over the baseline I set when I started using Emerging Strategies, and is certainly an absolute intensity PR in that time frame.  The baseline from late September '18 was 345X3 @7.  This double at 385 was a very strong @9 as well.  The 330X6 @8 actually projects even a little higher, but I prefer to go off the top set.  Anyway, very solid DL today.

Pause Squats also came in right on target.

Axle Bench felt as good as it has yet.  Felt very solidly balanced over the forearm in a way that I'm not sure I've ever felt with a regular barbell.  Interesting.

All video is of top sets and final work sets.
