Skipping BB Rows the rest of the week before the next block to give elbow and wrist more room to keep healing up.

Switched to low handle Trap Bar for the same reason.  I forgot how steep the learning curve on these are having not done them for a while.  All reps were awkward.

June schedule disruptions are just too much to try and chase consistency in the gym.  Going to go on a Pivot until July and (probably) start a short BB Row focused block. 

Made this session up as I went trying to fill gaps from the last session, and had fun.

BW - 224

super-set with
Cable Curls - X11, 9, 8, 7 @10

Fighting a cold so that may have impacted Chin-Up performance.   Also have a cut on my finger, so I had to use straps to make sure the band-aid didn't come flying off and land on someone else's face.

Chins, Hamstrings, Pecs, Triceps

sRPE @8
BW - 221

Chin-Up Partials w/Straps - BWX7, 7, 6, 4 @10

Seated Leg Curls - X15, 14, 17, 13 @~10

super-set with
Cross-Body 1-Arm Triceps Pushdowns - X15, 14, 13, 12 @9/10

Biceps were still pretty sore from training the day before, and that made Chin Partials a little uncomfortable.

The X-Body Pushdowns were probably a bit baroque, but I wanted to see what it would feel like.  Weirdly tired out my mid-trap and rear delts?  Probably some kind of isometric action back there.

Rows, Legs, Pecs, Triceps

sRPE @6.5
BW - 223

BB Rows - 
-    up to 225X6 (PR) @10
-    185X5, 5, 5 @6.5

1-Arm Cable Flye - X12 @8
super-set with
1-Arm Cable Pushdown X15 @8

I haven't really pushed lower-rep BB Rows in almost 10 years. Glad I've gotten stronger since then, lol.

This is probably the hardest I've ever pushed Copenhagen Planks.  Somewhat because I've developed more proficiency with the movement, and partially because I put them earlier in the session and not super-setted.

The cable stack I started to work on for my Pec and Triceps work was all jacked up.  I started to look around for something else, and then just decided I was over it.
