Trying out my headphones today, to make me feel better about being moderately antisocial (it’s part of my mass phase plan to get in and out quick not to talk to people and what better way to give off a leave me alone vibe without scowling at everyone than a pair of headphones?). Felt weird at first but got used to them quickly. Also, Spotify is pretty awesome.
Today’s training
Lazy lifter plus shoulders
Definitely creaky despite feeling better
CGBP
TM is 236 lbs
Work up from bar in 22 lbs x3-5 to 60%, 1-5 pull-up ladder between sets (mostly wide grip overhand) - fourth set rolled out of my hand at touch for no good reason, tweaked my left thumb a bit.
Work sets all supersetted with 5-1 pull-up ladder, some wide overhand false grip, some medium width neutral
3x165 lbs, under 6 RPE
3x187 lbs, under 6 RPE
1x214 lbs, under 6 RPE
5x236 lbs, 10 RPE - did not expect this and I’m really quite pleased. Pretty sure that’s a rep PR. Nice little surprise there.

13x165 lbs, 8 RPE - seems 13 is consistently around where I can get to after my top set with 70% of my TM.
Seems like as soon as I get any kind of extra blood flow in my arms my cuffs get painfully tight. Maybe my arms grew?
DB bench supersetted with DB rows
Bench 3x8x85 lbs, 8, 8-9 and 9 RPE - I’d planned on 10s but these felt good
Rows 3x10x125 lbs - straps and false grip and had plenty of room for extras on each set
Dead stop hammer curls off thighs 3x9 RPEx25 lbs
DB tricep rollovers 3x9 RPEx25 lbs
Another rest tomorrow, then last heavy squats Thursday and last heavy bench Friday.
