Starting Strength 1 BB Medicin template. Starting with deadlift day, which is the 3rd day in the template, but I like deadlifts on Sunday and that's when I'm starting the program. Like most BB Medicine templates I've done, it started off with 3 sets @RPE's 7,8,9. I prefer to start these @RPE's 6,7,8. So for deadlift I worked up in pretty big jumps (for me) unitl 275 and called that my first working set @RPE6. Top set @305# felt good. Next was overload bench. I used doubled up micro bands for 3 working sets. Planned on @RPE 6,7,8, but actuals were @RPE 6,8,9. Felt good and I was supersetting with deadlifts. 3rd movement was a tempo 3-0-3 squat. My knees have been cranky and I was thinking about bailing/modifying these. Warmed up with body weight, then bar, then 75# and knees really started feeling better. I dreaded these tempo squats, but actually really liked them. Granted, I kept things fairly light, and they still became challenging, but super glad I did them. I needed a decent rest period between sets of these, so I threw in some seated DB shoulder press with these. Solid first WO.
