[Mr. Bingley]

I've had that thought, but I can't figure out a good way to fit it into my programming.

well your programing certainly seems to be working well so i would't mess with it

Light squats:
265x3x5

Deadlifts:
375x3 -- 3-rep PR
375x3
375x3

So I could get 375x3x3 this week, but I only got one set of my 385x1x3 two weeks ago.

Chins:
10-minute EMOM
8x4
2x3

One more than last week.

Rower:
2 minute warmup
6 x :30/1:30
2 minute cooldown
Max HR: 169
Avg HR: 150

Bench:

230x1

Press:
135x3
135x3
135x3

A "light" press day. On Wednesday, I'm going to try for some PRs, so I wanted to keep the intensity fairly high but the volume low.

After that, my press programming will look like the 3 other lifts.

LTE:
105x10x3

Squats:
350x1
350xf
350x1
350xf

I was trying to get 3 singles. On the first failure, I dropped too low and lost tightness. I'm disappointed in myself for the second failure. The bar got a little bit forward, but I think I still could have muscled it up.

SLDL:
265x8x2

DB rows:
95x10x3

Taking a break from doing 20's.

Rower:
2 minute warmup
6 x :30/1:30
2 minute cooldown
Max HR: 171
Avg HR: 150

[Chad Mynhier]

Press:
162.5xf (misload)
162.5xf (misload)
152.5x1 -- PR
155xf

D'oh! I was wondering why my 152.5 attempts felt so heavy. After my first two failures, I went to unload the bar and noticed that I'd misloaded. I'd originally planned to attempt 152.5, 155 and 160, thinking that I was likely to get at least the first two. Oh, well, I came away with a PR anyway.

CGBP:
195x8
195x6
195x7

Dips:
1x12

I had planned a 10-minute EMOM, but my extra press attempts ate up my time. I did an AMRAP set just to do something.

Light squats:
265x3x5

Beltless, 2 minutes rest.

Deadlifts:
385x1
385x1
385xf

Well phooey. I did a little better grinding on my failure, but it was still a failure. This creates a weird situation: next cycle I'll be doing 380x3x3 and 385x1x3.

Chins:
10-minute EMOM:
10x4

Rower:
2 minute warmup
6 x :30/1:30
2 minute cooldown
Max HR: 171
Avg HR: 151

You make an excellently smooth and seamless transition from the eccentric part of the deadlift to sitting on your butt!

Years of practice, my friend. Years of practice.

I'm doing a "recharge" week this week. I'm dropping the accessory work and going a little bit light on the main lifts.

Bench:

I'm going to retry my PR attempts this week after the misload incident last week. Keeping the intensity high and volume low today.

[Chad Mynhier]

Continuing my recharge week. No accessory work, just squats and some light rowing.

Squats:
305x5
305x5
