    Good training session today - pretty weak curling though. Bruised my tailbone at PT doing mason twists and crap on a basketball court - coupled with riding to and from work (road bike) my lower body was pretty trashed today

    Weight: 220lbs, Time: 60 minutes

    Upper body intensity day

    Warmup: band YTWL 4x7 ea.
    Bench 45x15, 135x10, 225x8, 275x6, 315x4, 335x1,

    Closegrip 235x5, 250x5, 280x8 RPE9

    Slingshot Closegrip: 285 2x10

    Notes: good session, would have liked to intensity pressed and push pressed but my wrist has been inflamed for a few weeks now (hence the wrist wraps during warmup sets). My bench program has been going very well otherwise;

    Bench program overview:
    Volume Day:
    - 2-ct paused competition grip: 1x5@RPE9, 5% load drop up to RPE9
    - dead stop military press 3 sets of max reps at ~60% w/3-min between sets
    - 5x10 DB Bench/Incline Bench
    - Triceps work

    Intensity Day (A/B)
    - a) bench 3 sets of 2-3 ascending (10lb jumps)
    - b) bench 3 sets of 3 ascending (10lb jumps)

    Intensity Press up to 1x2-3, followed by push press at 110-115% for 3-4 sets of 2-3 ascending (5-10lb jumps)

    Closegrip 3-wk cycle (Kale Beck, www.startingstrongman.com):
    1) 60%x8, 70%x8, 80%x8+ @RPE8-8.5, slingshot 2x12
    2) 65%x5, 75%x5, 85%x5+ @RPE9-9.5, slingshot 2x10
    3) 70%x8, 80%x5, 90%x3+ @RPE9.5-10, slingshot 2x8

    Weight: 221lbs, Time: 65 minutes

    Lower body intensity day

    Warm up squat: barx10, 67lbs bands: 135x8, 225x6, 315x4, 405x2, 455x1, 495x1

    Work sets reverse band squat (67lbs per band at bottom/0-10lbs at top): 545x3 RPE 8.5, 555x3 RPE 9, 565x3 RPE 9.5

    Halting sumo speed pulls (2" off the floor): 7 sets of 2 @ 335lbs on the minute

    Band good morning (green): 3x15

    Kettle bell swing: 32kg 5x20 1:2 work to rest (30:60)

    Felt great today. I feel as though the ROM involved in a halting sumo is too short; I may switch to halting conventional next time (two weeks from now).

    Weight: 222 lbs, time: 70 minutes

    Lower body intensity day

    Warmup: band YTWL

    Dynamic squat against 67lb bands: 12 sets of 2 on the minute; 315+67lbs band tension (each side)

    Conventional deadlift: doubles on up; 495x1, 535x3 RPE10, 485x3 RPE9.5

    Band good morning; purple band 3x10

    Kettle bell swing (1:1 work to rest): 32kg 10x10

    Notes: I need to stop using sumo pulling as my B week dynamic work; its screwing with my conventional set up. Today's pulling was much harder than it has been in the past/much tougher than it needed to be - I couldn't get a consistent shoulder placement over the bar/ each rep had a different path. All in all, some flat out shit ugly pulling today
