Block 8. Cycle 1. Session A.

BW - 227

Waist - 42.75"

Squat -
335X1 @7.5
235X12 @6
255X12 @8

Leg Press (Myo-Reps / 30 sec. rest) -
3ppsX15 @8
3ppsX5, 5, 5, 5, 5 @7

First day of the new block brought some new stuff and some stuff I haven't done in a while, but everything went well.

Big gap in E1RM to start the block between 1@8 and 12@8.  Will be interesting to see if that gap closes over the course of the block.  Program calls for 2X12@8, but I didn't want to do extra work sets X12 because I've had so much trouble with Squat-related DOMS at the beginning of dev blocks.  Will also be interesting to see what a true 2X12@8 feels like as I get that more dialed-in. 

Haven't done regular Leg Press in a while, and first time using the density technique currently referred to as Myo-Reps. 

Probably haven't had this much of a "quad pump" in a while, although it was relatively mild compared to what I've experienced with "purer" hypertrophy training in the past.
