Higher-Rep Volume PRs. Week 4. Session C.

sRPE @8

BW - 215

Bench - 

220X1, 1 @6

140X17, 17 @6.5/9

Toes-to-Bar - BWX6, 6, 6, 5 @7/8

KB Walking Lunges - 35sX14, 14, 14, 14 @7/8

Rower - HIIT; 5 rounds / 8 minutes

Kept weight the same on Bench because I exceeded RPE targets last week.  Weight was easier this week.

215 (BW) for 3 sets of 6 is a Volume PR on TTB.

Walking Lunges continue to be exhausting.

Was out of gas for conditioning.  Made myself do some, but didn't have any "pop" in the reps and it started to feel like LISS intervals so I called it. 

I can tell it's about time for this training block to end.

Block 9. Cycle 2. Session B.

BW - 227

Waist - 43.25"

sRPE @ 7

Squats -
320X3 @7
265X16 @8

High-Bar Squats - 265X7 @8

Hip-Thrusts (Myo-Reps; 30 sec. rests) - 135X17, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 @9/7

Solid, bounce-back session.

Messed up the top set of Squats and stopped one set early.  Should have been going for ~335 @8 here.  Then I lost count on the back-off set and ended up doing an extra rep, and STILL hitting under target RPE @9.  We'll try to dial that in next week.  Eventually, it will be have to be heavy enough, right?

265X7 is a Rep PR on High Bar Squats.  I dropped weight and hit a quick triple on high-bars to make sure technique was dialed-in, before jumping back up to the work weight.  Worked well.

Hip-thrusts were interesting this week.  Pushed the RPE on the top set pretty good, but all the myo-reps sets were too easy.  Probably want to up those to 6 reps each for next time.
