Week 2 of Strength I. Started with squats, working up to 1@RPE 8, then 5 @RPE9, then 2x5 @RPE8-9. Working up felt pretty good. 195 felt and moved very well. Maybe I should’ve stopped there to ease into singles. But I went up and 205 still felt pretty good, but maybe more than @RPE8. Backoffs were good. Next was bench (touch and go) working up to 1 @PRE8, then 4@9, then -5% and 1-2 x 4. Things felt pretty good working up. 195 moved real fast, 210 was solid. Maybe I should’ve stopped there or gone to 215. But I went to 220 and although it moved fairly well, it was probably more than @PRE8. So I backed off more aggressively to 195x4 and that was good. Dropped less than 5% to 190 and did 2 sets of 4 that were solid and didn’t overshoot at al.
The workout called for overload deadlifts next. I don’t have the equipment and still felt a bit taxed from deadlifts on Sunday, so I did RDL’s. Warmups with 135 felt like working weight and I just didn’t go very heavy, but it still felt really heavy. Very solid WO. It’s going to take time getting used to these WO’s. They are hard, but not the same kind of fatigue as the hypertrophy templates.
Nutrition/Weight:
