Nice and quick.  I decided to add in super-setting movements, and worked up a nice, light sweat.  Also added in some spring intervals at the end which has become my habit in pivots.

 sRPE @7
BW - 219

Pin Bench - 195, 205, 215, 225X1 @8/10

Dips - BWX9, 7, 6 @9.5/10

Reverse Hack Squat - SledX8, 8, 6 @8/9

Incline Curls /w Rest-Pause Partials - 25sX10/10, 9/9 @9.5/10

Guess this turned into a week of dead-stop work.

225 is a PR on Pin Bench.

Never done the Reverse/Football Hack Squat before.  The machine at the gym is an old bottoms-up model and just the sled weight was enough for me.  Was tough to break out of the hole.

Long-ROM Rest Pause Partials were brutal on Incline Curls.

Just back from a few days of travel.  Taking it REALLY easy volume-wise, as I jumped in too hard after my last trip.  I'll just do 1-2 sets per movement, and add volume as it seems advisable.  I have a lot more trips coming up in the next few months, so I will take a very conservative approach to volume to avoid DOMS and other issues that overly impact my life-at-large.
