Press, DL

sRPE @6.5

BW - 226

Press - 

-    up to 155X1 @9.5

-    135X1, 1, 1 @~8

SLDL - 235X5, 5, 5, 5 @6/7

Not a terrible place to start the Press wave.  We'll see how the next couple of weeks go.

SLDL felt great even with more weight.

Time crunched so had to skip accessories.

Press, Squat, Triceps

sRPE @8

BW - 222

Press paused at forehead - 

-    up to 155X1(PR) @10

-    115X3, 3, 3 @6.5/7.5

ATG Squats - 225X7, 7, 7, 7 @8/9

Low Incline PJR Pullover - 45X12, 10, 9, 9 @9/10

Pretty excited to see what happens with comp Press over the next few weeks.  155 is my best double on Press.

ATG Squats and the humidity in the gym took a LOT out of me.  I didn't have the gas to do my usual Back/Triceps superset.  Luckily, PJR Pullovers give you a bit of both.

Two days later, my legs and triceps are screaming at me.

Dips, Hack Squats, Curls, Shoulders

super-set with

DB Incline Laterals - 15sX12, 9, 8, 7 @9.5/10

Start of the Lever Dips wave.  Will probably add a half plate next week and see what happens.  Once I settled on Bench Dips and Lever Dips as my movements for the first two waves, I was on the fence about what order they should go in.  On one hand, Bench Dips are a bit more "body in space," like the main lift, but the pressing angle of the lever dips is more similar and it's a bit easier to load.  We'll see what happens.

All reps of Hack Squat continue to be metal on metal at the bottom.  Feeling good.

Combo of Lever Dips and Incline Laterals got me some nice, anterior delt DOMS the following day.  

Deficit DL, Pecs, Legs

sRPE @8

BW - 223

Deficit DL - 

-    up to 410X1(PR) @ 9

-    375X3(PR) @8.5

-    315X3, 3 @~6

DB Bench - 50sX15, 12 @~10

Machine Flyes - X10 @10

Leg Accessory Supersets -

-    Seated Leg Curls - X15, 11, 11 @9/10

-    Machine Adduction - X13, 13, 11 @9/10

-    Leg Extensions - X8, 10, 10 @9/10

Really didn't think I was going to be able to get a PR single on Deficit pulls this block.  I was thinking a lot about starting position and how to initiate the pull on the way to the gym, and possibly some things came together at the right time.

Been hitting triceps pretty consistently, and wanted to give pecs some love before I head into a comp bench wave.

I've started getting an itch to work leg curls, so moving downstream from Big Hippers to...Thigh Blasters?

Close-Grip Bench, Leg Press, Rows

BW - 224

Close-Grip Bench - 

-    up to 245X1(PR) @10

Leg Press - 3ppsX11, 11, 10 @9/10

CS Rows - 115X11, 10, 9 @9/10

Two more PRs to close out the wave of close grips.  Hopefully translates to good things for comp bench next wave.
