Week Five, Day two repeat
Warmups
Bench: warmups, 186x5, 187.5x5, 190x5, 191x5messy
Deadlifts off plates: warmups, 90x10x2
St arm pulldowns
Notes
Repeated the morning session, selected slightly lower weights and the 190 went way better this time with a bit more oomph. The 191 would have been better if I didn't think failure on the last rep. Still got it up, just not tidy.
If you are looking for the answer to life, the universe and everything... this is not a good place to start.

Week Five, Day Two
Warmups
Bench: warmups, 190x5 just
Notes
Well that sucked. What I can tell, trying to hit the same weight as your PR with no real 'psyching up' is probably not going to go well. First four were ok, but the right tricep dropped off on the last rep to just failure my way to the top. Should work on that.

Still tired from Saturdays session. Triceps and shoulders feeling pretty beat. But with that, it was a good solid day and did not really take a lot of effort to get through. Just doing some high bar to see if that lets me progress. Nice and easy start to the week.

1board: warmups, 168x6x3
Notes
Bench was comfortable, boards were good. Squats sucked. Adductor started being a dick on the bar, so I kept on it and it never tweaked, it just was 'there', and I feel it afterwards. Upping the protein, for a few days to see how that makes it feel. I was ok throughout my last cycle when protein was up. Could be luck, but will see.

Nice simple session. Felt better than last week for bench and board press, but then I wasn't two days after a max effort session this week. Squats felt ok, lots of warmups, and reasonably simple reps. Will progress slowly upwards, keeping in the high rep ranges for a bit.

Week One, Day Three
Warmups, so many warmups
Squats (wide with knee band): 20x10x2, 60x10x2, 80x10x4
Stepups super-setted with walking lunges
Notes
Leg is still being a piece of shit, so I am reduced to lifting pathetic garbage and warming up for longer than i lift. Felt reasonable, with out any adductor garage. I start with a glute band around my knees for the lighter weights, but then change it for a normal band, which I then squat quite wide, and force my knees out hard. Seems to be ok.
