Started with deadlift for 1@8, 5@9, 3x5@ 75-80%. That was the plan anyway. Things felt ok warming up. 345x1 I would've rated @RPE8 and should have stopped there today. But just last week I did 360x2 @RPE8-8.5 and I have a hard time judging RPE on DL singles, so I proceeded to 360 and was still hoping to go heavier than last week. Nope! 360 was @RPE 9.5, felt MUCH heavier than I thought it would. I skipped the planned 5@9 which would've been 325# and proceeded to the second set of back offs at same weight as last week and they also felt heavier. Thinking what I may need is a deload week. Starting to feel a bit banged up and fatigued.  

I supersetted 2 count paused bench. Wasn't sure how heavy I'd go here, so just kept working up starting at 165# working sets. I got to 190x5 with good 2ct pauses which was heavier than I thought I'd get. Also good back off volume.  Pleased with that.

Knees have been cranky and based on how deadlift went, I decided not to push things here. Didn't go as heavy as projected, but got through the volume. Not the best workout ever, but got through and pleased with the effort.

Nutrition/Weight:
