Great workout this morning despite less than par nutrition yesterday and not sleeping well last night. I made the mistake of having a double espresso after dinner around ~6:30 PM and it was a restless night.
Squat - Continuing my experiment with lower rep ranges for volume, based on some wise words from Dwayne in this post. Top single of 285lbs moved slightly better than last week. I hope it'll be over 0.30 m/s by Friday. Backoff sets for volume were good.
RDL's - I'm still looking for a supplementary pull to do other than SGDL's, and I'm not sure how I feel about RDL's. I think I should introduce deficit deadlifts.
Dragon Flags - Great. Managed 4 continuous reps for the first time.
Those SBD knee sleeves are definitely a pain to get on, but really, I shouldn't complain given that I only need to wear them twice a week for ~45-50 minutes at a time. I like them a lot better than the Rehband's. Back to work after being off for just over a week. The good thing is that I can get back to my normal training & eating times.
I think that's all for now. A video of my lifts via Instagram is below. Top single, and 1st & last double is included. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Cheers!
