Glad the 385 was easy and the groin is back to normal. See you Friday.

Thanks. Hope your workout went well at the less awesome YMCA today.

Bench (1st and 8th reps of each set paused) - 265 5x8
Seated DB press 70 3x8
Curl 95 5x8

[KyleMask]

9/30
Deadlift 500x8 (speed stayed pretty much constant, not sure how many times I can pull 500, but it's many more than 8)
Snatch grip deadlift (beltless) 385 4x8
Pullups bw+20 5x8

--Feels good to be back at it this week.

10/2
Hi-bar squat 315 5x8
(Low bar) Pause squat 315 2x8
Plank 2x1 min

--I didn't pick 315 because of the nice round #. The percentages actually worked out for it. Dat der volume mayne.

10/3
Press 175 5x8
DB row 120 5x15
Wide grip bench 225 3x8

[KyleMask]

10/5 BLOCK 1: HYPERTROPHY/ACCUMULATION, WEEK 2
Squat 405 5x8
Hi-bar paused above parallel squat 245 3x8

--405 for 5x8 was easy insofar as I never really strained or approached even an RPE of 8. The challenge was fending off a major cardio-respiratory event and making it through the back pumps that set in after set 3.

10/6
Bench (1st and 8th reps paused each set) 280 5x8
Seated DB press 80 3x8
DB hammer curl 45 5x10

[KyleMask]

10/7
Deadlift 525x8
Snatch grip deadlift (beltless) 415 4x8
Pullups bw+25 5x8

--525x8 was maybe a 7 RPE. Was pretty tired by the third set of snatch grips though.

10/9
Hi-bar squat 335 5x8
Low bar pause squat 335 2x8

--Only one more week of this pumping/toning/8's bullshit. Sweet jeebus.

[KyleMask]

10/10
Press 180 5x8
Db row 120 5x16
Spoto bench (paused about 1/2" off chest) 235 3x8

--Left hamstring is a little tender and I'm not sure why. Need to pound the calories between now and Monday afternoon.
