Notes
Back to early mornings for the first time in 3 ish weeks. Sucks. But session was fine considering the cold (4.5deg in the garage, 1deg out). Now, I am trying to define my main lifts with an RPE/RIR value. But, to my mind there are different types of failure. One type of failure is the muscles just give out and cannot move the load. Another is the muscles give out with a pump. I got the latter today, so the last set of benches was close to a 10RPE, due to shoulder/triceps pump. The bottom half was easy peasy, just locking out became harder. Squats were ok, easier when i cranked the belt tighter. Got some cool numbers to do this week, and next week will blow them all out of the water.
