Started a new mesocycle today. The plan is to ramp to an @8 on the 3rd set and then back off for some more work. Set my e1RM a bit high for bench and hit @7.5 on 2nd set.

Hypertrophy work will make you feel weak. Triceps were totally fried by the time I got to strict press. I was going to deadlift this morning too, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Need to get to work.

These moved really well today. Hard to judge the RPE/RIR, but it definitely felt <@8.

Still awaiting my test results, but I felt a little crappy before this workout. Congestion and lethargy. Decided it was a good opportunity to test my body and mind. I am pretty happy with the outcome. BTW, I just rate my top set of squats as a 7.5 for anything less than 8. I don't want to add weight too quickly...and I suck at judging RPE.
