Start of Strength I, week 8, specialization block. Started with squat for 1@8, 4@9, 2x4@8. Knees never felt great today, nor did they feel “bad”. My top single at 205# went smoother than last week, so that’s good. Back off at 190x4 was the hardest set for sure. Pretty good work for me. Next was bench for 1@8, 4x5@8. I worked up to 225 and it moved fast. Sarah even asked if that was my top set because she thought I was going up higher. The last couple weeks 225 has felt good, but I’ve jumped to 235 which has been above @RPE8, so today I played it safe and just stuck with the really solid single and moved to the backoffs. We did the back offs on 2-2.5 mins rest, so fairly short. Finished up with RDL’s while Sarah did a version of paused deadlifts :). We had a laugh about her first set, pausing at the top instead of pausing 1” off the floor. Solid WO.
Nutrition/Weight:
184.6. I've been hovering around this weight for a while, and I'm cool with that. I don't want to put on too much weight while running this strength program, but I certainly am not trying to lose any. I'll lean out after this strength block is done.
