Day 2 of strength block started with squat for 5 reps @RPE6,7,8. Program calls for RPE7,8,9 for all these, but I tend to overshoot so I attempt to start conservatively, especially on squats. These felt really good and hit PRE's I wanted (e.g. lower than program). Next I supersetted touch and go bench with overloaded deadlift. For bench lately I've been doing a single, then 1 heavy set, then back offs at 70%. It's a change to do multiple "heavy-ish" sets so 200x4 seemed harder than I thought it would be based on my heavy sets of 205x6 recently. But, bench felt solid. Overload deadlift was a first for me. I set up red mini bands around 70 & 80 pound dumbbells. It was a pain to set up, but the result was pretty good. I just worked up in fairly large jumps until I hit something approximating @RPE8. This gives me better sense for weights next week. I'm also going to consider getting some chains because I think they'd be easier to set up than the bands. Solid start to the program.
