    Indeed. If I can eat enough to match the volume, maybe I can put on a few pounds to the upper body.

    Volume Block Week Three - reps/sets

    Deadlift Singles - 70kg 5*3, 120kg 3*3, 140kg 2*2, 160kg*2, 177.5kg 1*2, 187.5 / 197.5kg *1
    Deadlifts - 155kg 8*2
    Big Wheel Eccentrics - 168kg 5*3
    Single Leg Hip Thrust - 40lbs 12*3
    Cable Revs Fly - #3 12*3

    Not the most confident session I've put together recently. The singles looked better than I thought.

    Back off sets went touch and go, because CARDIO.

    The Big Wheels were an RPE overshoot...by a lot. I made a note in my log book to not be so stupid.

    Volume Block Week Three - reps/sets

    Paused SSB - 90kg 7*3
    Spoto - 70kg 10*3
    Dumbbell RDL - 100lbs 15*3
    Dumbell Bench - 50lbs 15*3 alternate arm
    Dumbbell Press - 30lbs 15*3 alternate arm
    Wide Grip Pull Down - 110lbs 15*3
    Hammer Curls - 50lbs 20*3
    Tri Kick Backs 15*3

    Building back my work capacity, set by set.

    Might need to go to straps for the dumbbell RDLs, 100lbs dumbbells are right at my grip limit for 15 reps in my left hand.

    That alternate arm work was interesting, and a nice change of pace.

    Volume Block Week Four - reps/sets

    Bench - 50kg 5*3, 60kg 3*3, 70kg 2*2, 80kg *2, 90kg / 92.5kg *1
    Larsen Bench - 72.5kg *8, 70kg 8*2

    Dumbbell Bench - 70lbs *7, 6*3
    Dumbbell Press - 40lbs 10*3 alternate arm
    Dumbbell Incline - 60lbs *7, 6*3

    Hammer Curls / Dips - 70lbs/bw 10*3

    Planks - 60sec *3

    No pop in the singles today. Not beat up, just no "pop"

    Dumbbell work was outstanding. I put the 70s and 60s in my hand for the first time, and I was actually able to do them without my shoulders blowing up. Might not have gotten the sets of 10 as written on the program, but I moved a weight that had always pinned me before today...DUMBBELL PRs!!!
