7th Cycle / Week Two - reps/sets

Deadlift - 185kg *4, 145kg 4*2
RDL - 120kg 6*2
Cable Mid Row - 120lbs 10*3
TRX Revs Fly - 10*3

GHR - 10*5
Pull Up - 2*12 on 15sec
Chin Up 2*12 on 15sec
Hammer Curls - 10lbs 40*3

Thought I was all done when I hit 155kg *4. Sometimes you gotta fight through a poor warm up to get your top set in.
I thought the pulls at 185kg were about an rpe8, certainly not a 9.

7th Cycle / Week Three - reps/sets

Low Bar Squat - 132.5kg *4, 110kg 4*2
Belt Squat - 70kg 12*3
BSS - 16kg 10*3
Single Leg Ext - 110kg *20, 90kg *30, 60kg *40
Kroc Rows - 80lbs 10*3
Wide Grip Pulldowns - 120lbs 10*3

Dare I say that I'm almost back to 2019 me... That top set moved much faster than it felt ( coulda used a little more depth on the first two reps TBH). I haven't been able to move that kind of weight that fast into the hole, accept it at the bottom, and drive up without pain in my knee somewhere along the line. I can't begin to describe how happy I am at the moment.

Perhaps the worst of my #kneebola is behind me...

Thanks gents!

As I mentioned above, I'm almost back to 2019 strength levels. It's been such a long process. I'm much more appreciative of what it takes to get and stay strong.

The 2019 training year was a gift from God...

2 Board Bench - 87.5kg *3, 72.5kg 3*3

Hammer Curls - 10lbs 40*3
Dumbbell Incline Bench - 45lbs 12*4
TRX Supine Row - 10*4

The shoulder is marginally better, but not good enough for a regular Bench session, so 2 board it is.

Not much else to report..
