Pivot Block. Cycle 1. Session A.

BW - 230

Waist - 43"

sRPE @7

3-2-0 Beltless Squat -
230X4 @7
235X4, 4, 4 @~7.5

Machine Pullovers -
80X10 @7.5
85X10, 10 @8,9

Single-Leg, Elevated BB Hip Thrusts - BW+45X8, 8, 8 @9, 8, 7

Rope Hammer Curls - 70X12, 14 @8.5, 10

First session of the pivot in the books.

Reducing the tempo a bit on the PL variants this pivot to see what that's like.  Also, made a game-time decision to do them beltless.  Everything actually felt a bit tight and creaky.  Maybe even more ready for a pivot block than I thought.

Pullovers felt solid.  All reps paused at the top and bottom.

I'm going to be doing Barbell Hip Thrusts as an accessory next block, and I like to find ways to acclimate to upcoming, relatively novel development block movements in the preceding pivot block if I can.  One thing that should certainly be true:  doing this movement with two legs, should be MUCH EASIER than getting it set up for single-leg work.  The weird descending RPE is because of getting acclimated to the set-up and execution.
