    It's been awhile since I've been able to surprise myself (in a good way) in the gym, so yeah I'm pretty stoked.

    10/7/21

    Cycle Four / Week Four reps/sets

    Big Wheel Pulls - 205kg 2*2
    RDL (3-0-0) - 113kg 8*3
    Banded Hamstring Curls (3-0-3) -10*3
    Dumbbell Bench (3-0-3) - 60lbs 10*4
    Pendlay Rows - 8*3
    Revs Fly - 50lbs 8*3
    Leg Ext - 100kg 20*3

    Just a super day with weights in hand. Pulls were strong, as were the rows. I was able to set up for all the pulls with no knee issues, which is a mighty blessing.
    PR alert...the dumbbell bench might be the most pleasing of all. I've never done tempo to tempo work with 60lbs in my hand for four sets of 10. Maybe my bench will have a breakout soon (fingers crossed).

    10/9/21

    Cycle Four / Week Four reps/sets

    Low Bar Squat-130kg 3*2
    Paused Bench - 90 / 95kg *1, 100kg X
    Paused Dead - 172.5 / 182.5 / 192.5kg *1
    Dumbbells Incline Bench - 50lbs 12*3
    Leg Ext - 80kg 40*3
    Dumbbell Press - 50lbs 10*3

    Good way to end the cycle:
    Best Squat Session in months
    Good Bench, but little disappointed I missed at 100kg
    Pulls are still a work in progress, but we're getting there.

    Another intensity block coming up, and then a decision point as to whether to enter a local meet in late January / early February #wellsee

    5th Cycle / Week One rep/sets

    Low Bar (5-1-0) @6 - 100kg 1*3
    Bench (5-1-0) @7 - 80kg 1*3
    Big Wheel Pulls @8 - 193 / 203 / 208kg *1

    Interesting programming here. It's intensity without being "intense", and it allows some recovery from the volume of the week past. It's new to be sure.

    Hoy Moly, I actually felt like the weight was light, and I moved every rep pain free...maybe I'm finally getting past this 2 year malaise? Sure hope so.

    Monday night Squash was better, in terms of the "cardio" aspects. My knee, while stiff the next day, is not swelling, and is able to handle more explosive movements.

    Moving weights with no pain is always a great time.

    Good enough session. Had to jump to 60s on the Dumbbell work, couldn't get the 12 reps. Might have if we had 55lbs dumbbells.

    Probably a 2.5kg jump on the top set next week...
