Block 17. Quick Recap.

 Average BW was down about 2 lbs. from the previous block.

sRPE was about the same as previous block averaging @6.5

The bad:

Pivot:

 - Curls started off significantly weaker than normal at about 76% from the end of the previous block.

Progress:

 - Squat was the only lift that made negative progress on this block.

 - Squat and Press both ended up worse than where they were at the end of the previous block.

The less bad:

Pivot:

 - Chins and Deadlift had a larger than average drop-off from the previous block.

Progress:

 - Dips, Bench, and Press all increased by less than 1% over the course of the block. Just a bad block for progressing pressing movements.

The good:

Pivot:

 - On the other hand, Bench and Press had very good strength retention from the end of the previous block.  This was the best pivot I've had for Press which came in at almost 97% of where it ended the previous block. 

Progress:

 - Curls and Toes-to-Bar both had their best week-over-week increase since I've been tracking it.  TTB increase an average of 1.24% each week, and curls increased a whopping average of 4.8% week-over-week.  However, that was largely off-set by the terrible week 1 performance which left e1RM slightly lower than the previous block, meaning...

The best:

Toes-to-Bar with the above mentioned weekly progress, a 7.2% increase over the course of the block, and a 2.75% increase over the end of the previous block . 

All-in-all this block wasn't as good as the previous block, but hopefully the lessons of what was good and what was bad will yield a net positive for future blocks.
