LBM (spot) 182.3 (+0.2); (long avg) 181.4 (nc)

Nothing significant to note. Less food intake this week, but an increase in weight? I think last week's recorded intake averages were skewed but everything seems to be balancing out again. The next 3 weeks training (it will be a bit more than 3 weeks b/c I am AFK starting mid-week until mid-week next) will be the third wave of this peak cycle, and then it is back to base foundation work.

5/9 Session 16-1, Squat
Today starts the third wave of this peak meso-cycle. My focus on squats will be to ensure optimal depth, as video review and independent observers report my depth degrades at weights about 275 and higher. Appears to be 2" to 3" too short, mostly on first rep of a "heavy" set, although the middle reps look better/closer to the optimal/ideal depth.
Warm-ups: Leg Extensions -- 105 x 12 x 2 with 6 drop-sets -- 100 x 12, 95 x 12, 90 x 12, 85 x 12, 80 x 12, 75 x 12; go to 8's next week and increase weight
Squat warm-ups:
135 x 5; 185 x 3; 225 x 2
Working sets:
305 x 2; 290 x 3; 255 x 6; 5.5 mins rest between sets; video review shows very solid depth performance on all reps - sets 1, 2, and 3, although I had no doubts I could do well on set 3, it's nice to have confirmation; 2 reps on heaviest set means next wave starts only about 5 pounds higher than this wave did.
Kneeling banded ab crunch -- 1 x 10
Duration -- 45 minutes

Press warm-ups:
45 x 5; 75 x 3; 105 x 2
Working sets:
135 x 3; 128 x 3; 114 x 6; 5 mins rest between sets; 3 reps on heaviest set means next wave starts at 2% higher
Aux/acc:
DB Incline Bench Rows -- 70 x 15 x 4; next wave is 2 x 12 at higher weight
DB Concentration Curls -- 75 x 12 x 2 with 3 drop-sets -- 60 x 12, 55 x 12, 40 x 12; next wave go to 8's at a higher starting weight
DB Tricep Roll-ups -- 70 x 12 x 2 with 3 drop-sets -- 60 x 12, 50 x 12, 40 x 12; next wave goo to 8's at a higher starting weight
Kneeling banded ab crunch -- 1 x 10
Duration -- 68 minutes
This session will be followed by a 5 or 6 day break as I will be traveling for work and away from gym.
