Block 18 (Exploratory). Cycle 4. Session A.

sRPE @7
BW - 216

Curls - 80X6, 6, 6, 9 @~8/10

Bench - 
210X1 @6
165X13 @8.5

Deadlift -
390X1 @6
285X10 @5

SSB Deep Pause Squats - 195X9, 9 @~7

80 lbs. on Curls would have been a 3 sets of 1 PR, and I got 3X6 and 1X9.  Love those low-hanging Volume PRs.

165X13 ties a Bench PR.  Bench felt much smoother, stronger, and under control this week for some reason.  I think  I was just more focused on controlling the weight on the way down plus keeping leg drive tight throughout instead of trying to "pop it up" at the bottom.

Perhaps coincidentally, Flyes have been uncomfortable to perform the last couple of weeks with shoulder discomfort, but gave me NO trouble today despite being more weight.

DL also felt stronger on the top set.

Added weight to the paused, A2G SSB Squats and the RPE was actually lower than last week.  Acclimation is amazing.
