    Squats were definitely easy. I just concentrated on being as explosive as possible. RDLs were like cardio.

    BW: 91.6 kg - crap, I am gaining weight quickly


    Bench Press (Barbell)
    127.5 / 281.1 x 1 @ 6.5
    132.5 / 292.1 x 1 @ 8.5
    120.0 / 264.6 x 1 x 2
    122.5 / 270.1 x 1 x 6 @ 5.5-6.0
    I think this workout is a keeper. 10 heavy singles. Used my speed4lifts to calibrate, pushing me to go heavier than I anticipated. That puts my e1RM in the 142.5 kg range. That sounds about right and feels pretty good.

    A little volume work here. 2:30 rest. This was a good workout. Certainly not a killer.

    Pretty good session today. A fair amount of pump. Generally used 2:30 rest. Everything done in 1 hour. Left shoulder/pec area was a bit tender when I started bench, so I was careful. Actually started to feel better with more movement.

    BW: 92.0 kg - I've decided to keep my weight in the 90.0 kg range. Going to lose just a bit of weight and then hold it there. I was going to bulk, but my waist is already at 35", and I don't really want for it to get larger.

    Set 2: 125 lb × 3 [Warm-up]
    Set 3: 170 lb × 1 [Warm-up]
    Set 4: 210 lb × 1 [Warm-up]
    Set 5: 250 lb × 1 [Warm-up]
    Set 6: 280 lb × 1
    Set 7: 300 lb × 1 @ 7.5
    Set 8: 277.5 lb × 1
    Set 9: 277.5 lb × 1
    Set 10: 277.5 lb × 1

    Set 13: 277.5 lb × 1
    Set 14: 277.5 lb × 1
    Set 15: 277.5 lb × 1
    e1RM = 130 kg / 330 lbs per velocity profile


    Single Arm Tricep Extension (Cable)
    Set 1: 15 kg × 12
    Set 2: 15 kg × 12
    Set 3: 15 kg × 12


    Cable Crossover
    Set 1: 9 kg × 12
    Set 2: 9 kg × 12
    Set 3: 11 kg × 12


    Bench moved great. Felt some real shoulder weakness when doing the cable crossovers, so I kept it very light. Felt like rehab. I need to keep that stuff up for injury prevention.
