    Aaaaaaand my right pec cramped again... This time I blame it on my old mattress. My back/right shoulder was probably a little off during what was supposed to be the first of three ascending triples. Nothing serious, but it still bothered me during Wednesday's workout. By Friday I was able to do 5's up to 242 without much discomfort, but decided not to push it. I believe when the next bench-priority week comes I'll be able to train as normal again.

    About some of the ancillary work: I'm normally do 5 ascending sets of 10 and write down the load of the last set.

    I won't count it as such, but 392x5x3 is sort of a sleeveless-volume-squat-PR. Right pec and back are almost 100%, noticed that my shoulders are uneven when I do curls, it may have something to do with it.

    Fatigue was setting in by the end of the week and I couldn't finish my deadlift set. Next time I'll come back with a vengeance. Also, my scale ran out of battery and I didn't record my bodyweight on days 2 and 3, but it's probably fluctuating around 200-201.

    Interesting week this one. Right pec doesn't bother anymore, but the knot on my upper back is still there, showing signs of improvement though.

    Weighed a new bodyweight record of 204 lb on Thursday, body composition is still good (probably around the 15% mark, I had it tested back in November and measured at about 14% weighing around 198 lb).

    I've been thinking about my programming, I'm still using the Phase III LP "split" as a template, but I may have to make some additional changes soon. I'm trying not to rely on any fixed structure and wave loads and volume based on what has worked in the past, focusing on making the most out of each set and recover well. I think I'll try one more deadlift set of five before reintroducing haltings and block pulls, this time not during a heat wave I hope.

    I'm feeling confident doing the bench press again, back feels almost 100%. I had to rest-pause the fifth rep of the heavy deadlift set, not ideal but I'm actually satisfied with my performance. I'll include block pulls and haltings on the rotation from now on and it should be just fine.

    This was a weird week. Started with a back tweak, now on my left side on the lat area, felt like a meatball. Couldn't squat for sh*t, but still managed my first real PR in a long time on the press. By Friday it was gone, squated just fine and did volume work on cleans with two communist iron plates for the first time!

    Previous 5RM on the deadlift was 458x5 on a deadlift bar with mixed grip (holding the bar on the base of the fingers), this time around was 463x5 on a regular stiff bar (no excessive whip) and with straps (bar on the palm of the hands, so the range of motion was a little bit longer). I was beat up for the rest of the week though.
