BBB sets are easier than last week.

BBB sets are easier than last week.

That's progress right there, but a few extra kg will fix that in a jiffy!

[Yaums]

Yeah, I'm aiming for BBB sets at 60% of my TM. I'm at 50% right now...

Ds. chins: 31 (-1)
DB Row: 30 kg x 23-22-20
Curl: 36 kg x 15-12-10

Disappointed by chins. 3 sets of 4 at the beginning of the block is too much for now.

Lost forward rep 4 on my PR set. Failed twice at 171 kg (376 lbs), too greedy? Elbow tendonitis is back. Frustrating.

Nice double on 161! +10 from the double? You might be right with too greedy (if the double was tough) considering you haven't been doing much low rep stuff before now. But hey - sometimes you just want to try stuff on.

[Yaums]

You're right, I probably should have done a single at 161 kg instead of a double. Still learning
