This session got real hard, real fast.  Not sure why.  Maybe heat, humidity, and wildfire smoke.  Hopefully next week bounces back a bit.

Another solid session with heavier week-over-week top sets and e1RM increases on all movements.  This block will only be 3 weeks because of travel, so it would be convenient if we keep making big jumps.

Stationary Bike - S.I.T.; 0:20/1:40; 6 rounds

Was conservative on Block Squats, and then tried to push aggressive out of the gate for Week 1 on Comp Lifts.

Overshot just a smidge on Bench, so will likely repeat that weight next week and see if RPE comes down.

Undershot on DL (felt RPE 8, video says max RPE 7), so will look to push that aggressively again next week.
