Really solid day. SLDL felt super strong so I just combined the last 2 sets into one. Front squats all easy enough too. Next week is MRV week, and it's gonna be a rough one.

Felt really sick to my stomach for some reason this workout, cut the volume a bit, avoided OHP and didn't do the cardio at the end. Decently happy with the benching though.

Low, low energy day today. Moved the weight decently but could not complete the planned volume. Got really nauseous after the squatting so had to lower the volume on the SLDL and just did BW stuff for assistance. Not a great day but not a bad one I guess.

At the risk of sounding repetitive...another decent, but low energy day...dieting life. One more session, then it's a mini deload then transition block.

Decent day. Just getting a feel for the movements, and for what weights I'll be using in my next training block. All of these lifts suck for me, but the spoto CG I wasn't huge on, might change for another tricep dominant pressing variation.

High bar pauses are bruuutal for me, same with WG and block pulls. Putting work into these will definitely help my comp lifts.

Excited for some simpler training coming up, and for some strength gains, hopefully..
