Cable Rows - X12, 12, 9 @~7/9.5

Deadlift still being flat-ish.  Not uncommon for it to peak early and late in a cycle and plateau a bit in the middle.

Press showing some signs of life.

I took leg press to max depth on this machine (i.e. the sled went metal-to-metal at the bottom) and with a slight pause.  Pretty happy to get the same weightxreps as last week with the more challenging ROM.

210 Bench Dips - BWX15, 11, 8 @~7

Humid AF in the gym today making everything a bit more of a slog.

Pause Squats in particular were tough, and I'm actually pretty sore from them the next day despite it being practically the same thing I did last week.

I was supposed to add a 3rd set of DB Bench, but didn't notice.

Changed my set up on Bench Dips a bit.  I pulled my feet a bit closer to my body and tried shift my hips back a bit.  I've been feeling them in my shoulders a LOT, but not as much in my triceps.  Trying to see if can create a more closed elbow angle at the bottom of the rep.

030 GHRs - BWX11, 10, 8 @~6

Top set on Squat was only a tad stronger this week if at all, but the back-offs were much easier at the same weight as last week.

Close-Grip top set was about the same as last week.  I reduced weight a touch on the back-offs and they flew compared to last week.

Deficit pulls were much stronger than last week across the board, as were Tempo GHRs.

Airdyne Bike - HIIT; 20 sec./100sec.; 16 minutes (8 rounds)

3X5 on TTB is a Volume PR.

Whew, HIIT sprints on the Airdyne were TOUGH.  I had to back off a little bit on the sprint pace to get all the way through.  I'll look to gradually build pace back up.
