    Squat
    Monday, January 11, 2021
    BW: 92.8/204.6


    I am still tinkering with my programming for this cut. I realized that I can't stand to lift light weights all the time. So I'm just going to take the big compound lifts to an @7 to autoregulate with reps <=5, adding in more backoff sets as the reps go down. I'm still going to be doing a bunch of accessory work at higher reps.


    Squat felt pretty good today. Doing the high rep set last week helped to calibrate the weight.


    Squat (Barbell)
    Set 1: 165.6/365 × 5
    Set 2: 170.1/375 × 5
    Set 3: 176.9/390 × 5 @ 7
    Set 4: 165.6/365 × 5
    e1RM = 225.1/496.2


    Bicep Curl (Dumbbell)
    Set 1: 25 lb × 16
    Set 2: 25 lb × 16
    Set 3: 25 lb × 11
    Set 4: 20 lb × 14
    Much easier than last week.


    Flat Knee Raise
    Set 1: 16 reps
    Set 2: 14 reps
    Set 3: 13 reps
    Can't do sit-ups because of the rods in my back. Can't do handing knee raises because of shoulder impingement. But I can do these.

    A little decrease in weight given bench press beforehand.

    Deadlift
    Thursday, January 14, 2021
    BW: 92.5/203.9


    I'm glad that I settled on continuing to lift heavy. I will probably lose some strength as I cut, but that should be minimized. On the back side I should be in a good position to go for big numbers at a lighter weight. #powerbuilder


    Sumo Deadlift (Barbell)
    Set 1: 190.5/420 × 5
    Set 2: 195/430 × 5
    Set 3: 201.9/445 × 5 @ 6.5
    Set 4: 190.5/420 × 5
    These were pretty easy. Meant for an @7. Rated @6.5 just so the target goes up next time. e1RM = 261.2/575.9


    Lat Pulldown (Cable)
    Set 1: 120 lb × 12 @ 8
    Set 2: 120 lb × 11 @ 8
    Set 3: 120 lb × 9 @ 9
    Set 4: 110 lb × 10 @ 8
    Strength was a little down given deadlifts first.

    This was a little tougher than I anticipated. I guess it has been almost 3 years since I lifted the press heavy. I expect the e1RM to go up even though I am in a calorie deficit. e1RM = 88/193.9
