2 second pause deadlift 1" off floor- New exercise for me so just figuring out my starting weights. RPE may be overstated a bit.
335-4@7
365-4@8
385-4@9, 4@9

2 second pause bench press - Pressed on the third count so almost 3 seconds pause. Could feel tightness dissipate as I paused.
265-4@7
275-4@8
285-4@9, 4@9

RDL - Like the exercises above, I was trying to find my starting weights. Didn't quite get to 2 sets of four at RPE 9 cause my back was bothering me a bit. Plus I am now getting plantar fasciitis in my left foot and am limping around. At least now I know where to start weight-wise.

Man, such good lifting in this log, skid. It's difficult to point out anything over everything else!

Thanks Oldster! I went easy on the ab wheel too! Did sets of 5 where I could have done twice that much. That is definitely an exercise that has to be respected when first starting.

10/27

2 second paused deadlift
345-4@7
375-4@8
395-4@9, 4@9, 4@9.5

2 second paused bench press
270-4@7
275-4@8 - Bit of a miss-load as I wanted 280
290-4@9, 4@9, 4@9.5

DB RDL - Nice and easy on the back but with a little more ROM than with a barbell. No RPE as it was pretty easy and I was limited by my heaviest dumbbells at 85lbs each.
