    Bench, 1st rep paused @ 280 lbs-3,3,3,2,2,2 Pretty easy w/ a set every 2 minutes. I've pulled my grip in on bench again so it's pretty narrow but that seems to reduce my shoulder issues when I'm doing high volume bench like I am right now.

    Deadlifts w/ hook grip @ 375 lbs-3. This hurt a fair amount, even with taped thumbs but bar was stable. I''m definitely getting used to it. I'll try to keep adding more hook grip into rotation until all work sets use it.
    Deadlift w mixed grip @ 375 lbs-3,2,2,2,2 Pretty easy with a set every 3 minutes.

    Press 10 minute block-10,9,8,7,6,5 Total 45 reps. I think I will keep rotating volume blocks with 3 sets of 4 reps on press. On chins, I plan on rotating between volume blocks and 3 sets @ bodywt.

    Squat @ 375 lbs-3,3,2,2,2,2 Pretty easy (although a bit tiring) w/ a set every 3 minutes.

    Bench, 1st rep paused @ 280 lbs-3,3,3,3,3,2 Easy w/ a set every 2 minutes.

    Deadlifts w/ hook grip @ 375 lbs-3,3. 2nd set really hurt thumbs. This time I used an elastic type of tape to wrap my thumbs and I think I like the regular cheaper tape better. This elastic tape is the Jaybird and Mais 4600 Jaylastic Select Premium Lightweight Athletic Stretch Tape which got good reviews on Amazon but I'm guessing it's all from Cross fit people that never lift more than 200 lbs. 1 set every 3 minutes.

    Deadlifts w/ mixed grip @ 375 lbs-3,2,2,2 1 set every 3 minutes. Easy but tiring.

    Press @ 165 lbs-4,4,4, Rpe 9

    Bench, 1st rep paused @ 280 lbs-3,3,3,3,6. 1 set/2 minutes until after 4th set when I spent 5-10 minutes talking to some guy. When I went back, it was so easy that I just knocked out 6 reps at once. Decreased rest time does increase difficulty so adding some rest back in made it easy.

    Squats @ 375 lbs-3,3,3,2,2,2 Rpe 8 and pretty tiring. 1 set every 3 minutes.

    Chin block 10 minutes-9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,8,6,5, Total 55 reps

    Bench, 1st rep paused @ 285 lbs-3,2,2,2,2,2 1 set/2 minutes. Easy.

    Deadlifts w/ hook grip @ 375 lbs-3,3,3 1 set/3 minutes. Still hurt but much better than last time. Used the cheap tape for thumbs and it was a lot better than the elastic tape.

    Things I like so far about this new programming: It's quick (usually whole workout is done in one hour); No stress from having to grind out max effort reps (at least so far); seems pretty easy to recover.

    Things I don't like: Pretty boring as its same Day A Day B with same set/rep scheme; very slow progress; weights lifted are relatively light.

    Squats @ 375 lbs-3,3,3,3,3,2 Rpe 7.5 and pretty tiring. 1 set every 3 minutes. I'm sure I'll have to add more time between sets as the weight gets heavier.

    Deadlifts w/ hook grip @ 375 lbs-3,3,3,3,3,3 1 set/3 minutes. Thumbs hurt a fair amount but I did all sets with hook grip and my thumbs are still attached to my hands. I don't think the deadlifts themselves are that bad but it's very tiring on this time schedule.
