Solid session.
Top triple on Squats moved really well. Weight came in above target, and probably could have gone up 2-5 lbs., but these top sets are really final warm-ups in this block.
Targeting @9 for the sets of 15 this block, and I know it's going to take some calibration to get there. This weight was still above target, but definitely well below @9. On the first week, I didn't want to add in another set for a couple of reasons: 1) want to avoid adductor and quad DOMS as these have caused me problems at the beginning of past blocks, 2) at reps this high, I could see myself adding weight and suddenly finding myself @ 10+ in the first week.
Plan for High Bars was to shoot for 7@8 with the final weight from low bar. Hoping to be able to go straight into it, and avoid taking off weight and doing a "warm up" set. Tried that today, and it was a bit awkward having not done high bar in a few blocks, but I'm hopeful I'll get back in the groove.
Hip thrusts went well in my first real session using them. May need to up reps on the myo-rep sets, as RPE was a little low throughout.
