Block 16. Cycle 5. Session C.

BW - 222
sRPE @7.5

Deadlift -
395X3 @8
325X8, 8 @6/7

Dips - BW+37.5X10 @7
PJR Pull-Overs - 85X8, 9 @8/9.5

DB Bench - 35sX8, 8, 10 @7/9.75

Drag Curls - 57.5X8, 10 @8/10

Tumult in my schedule caused me to have to move this Friday afternoon session to Sunday AM.  Probably my least favorite time to train during the week.  While I think that may have bumped up the sRPE slightly, the results were still pretty good:

On Deadlift, 395X3 is a Rep PR and 325 for 2X8 is a Volume PR.  Last couple of years have been really good for DL PRs.  Since September of 2019, I've hit Rep PRs on DL at every interval from 1 rep up to 15 reps except 5 reps (because fuck sets of 5, lol).  I 100% credit this to: A) normalizing my set and rep schemes to be similar to what I do for any other lift; i.e. not afraid to do more than 1-3 sets, and not afraid do do medium-to-high reps, and B) doing reps touch-and-go.  More volume and variety, and more intra-set tension.

260 (BW+37.5)X10 is a Rep PR on Dips.

Accessories were all solid.  As I'm typing this 24 hours later, I'm still amazed by the DOMS I'm getting from PJR Pullovers 5 weeks into this training block.
