No PRs on this day, but most things went well.
Bench moving nicely at these lower reps. E1RM on the top single is averaging almost a 2.5% increase week-over-week.
Chin-Ups feeling strong the last couple of weeks. It occurred to me that I might be trying to "force" progress by looking to add reps to the density sets every week. I decided to sit back and say "keep those the same unless progress on the top set stalls." Top set has been going up, and this was possibly the easiest "12-in-3:00" of the block so far. That @8 on the last reps was the ceiling. Possibly @7.5.
I'd intended for the DB Rows to be an @10 set on this day, but they came in under with the weight I picked, and I didn't want to do another set before Squats.
Still taking a full 5 minute break between the upper back slot and Squats, but it didn't really help that much this day. E1RM stalled out, and everything felt pretty hard. Even though the back-off set was @6, I was still gasping for air afterwards. Very likely Squats move back into a primary training slot the next two training blocks. I need to keep in mind that they're not THAT far off from where I'd like them to be relative to my other lifts currently. But the way DL is going I have a feeling that gap is going to widen quite a bit by the end of this block.
