First session training under Reactive Training Systems.  Doing a Pivot block to start, and then regular training commences next week.

Haven't done High Bar Squat, or any barbell Squat over ~5 reps, in quite a while.  RPE is probably more reflective of acclimation limits rather than strength.

Coach said he likes Feet-Up Bench for Pec hypertrophy, and for sure these lit up my chest.

But my arms were also absolute jelly by the time I got to Press. It reminded me of doing drop-sets on a cable stack where no matter how light the weight feels in your hands, you just can't move it very well.
