I could tell on warm-ups that HBS wasn't going to be anywhere near my expect numbers.  That held true for 030 Bench and TnG DL as well.  TnG Bench popped over last block for some reason, though.

Generally, I suspect a combination of no pivot week + running back the same movements has pushed me way off my peak.  It'll be interesting to see how that plays out as we're mostly just repeating the same workout every session this block.  I now plan to be super conservative session-to-session.

Couple of Rep PRs to finish off the "outro" week.  Next block is going to be a doozy.  Trying a "3X" block wherein we basically just repeat the same workout over and over again for a couple of weeks.  A short burst of low variation/high stress to drive rapid adaptation before Thanksgiving.

Reducing volume a bit this week and going straight into the new block next week in lieu of finishing the block with the same volume and pivoting next week.  This is all to mitigate disruptions around Thanksgiving.
