7/7

Squat 490x5 (PR, hard to rate RPE b/c bar rolled during the set, which I think is a result of my inflexibility. Felt hard but not heavy, if that makes sense. Will rate as a 10 b/c of form deterioration. I have difficulty holding low bar position with any weight for more than a rep or two. Anyhow, still like a 15 lb PR, and wouldn't be surprised if I could single 100 lbs more than I had on the bar) Video below.

2 ct pause squat 385x5,5,5 (RPE 7, 7.5, 8)

Sick set. I have some thoughts on the bar roll of death and how to fix it But first, let me make sure I can fix my own. Race to 600 without wraps?

I'm down to hear any suggestions you have.

You already beat me to a 700 deadlift and 400 bench. What's one more loss? Let's do it.

That last rep, wow. You drop like a rock, practically atg, tip forward, the bar rolls, and yet you still get it up? WTH.

[John Petrizzo]

Great set, Kyle. Way to keep your concentration despite the bar rolling up your back. Congrats on the PR.

[KyleMask]

Ithryn, I'm just weird like that. Thanks, John.

7/8
Bench (paused) 340x4,4 (RPE 9, 9.68595), (close grip paused) 275x10
Pulldown 5x10

--Been having some probs w/ lt pec which I think are actually being caused by pullups. So I ditched pullups today in favor of pulldowns with a lot of backwards lean. Bench was as expected.

Nice pulling! (except shame on you for not squeezing your chest up hard enough, heh)

Is your thumb still not healed?


P.S. I bought some athletic tape yesterday

[KyleMask]

Thumbs are fine. I'm just not hooking reps over 2. Need to build grip strength, and I'm not sure the hook does that as well.
