Trying BB bench again, it's starting at poverty level. OHP with belt seemed to help, back up to 150 x 10. In the squat rack again bcz gym put up signs to stop throwing the weights after I started throwing the weights, lol. No worries.

Back to DB bench because BB hurts my arms too much. Pendlay went well, good to be back to rowing 2 plates. Wanted 170 for OHP, but not this time. Warmups felt heavy so I called it at 160.Once upon a time (maxes 2020) ...

Good workout considering I'm sick and slept bad last night. Surprising progress on bench. Pendlay felt good, might have had extra reps but didn't push it. Forgot to belt up for press until the last set, not sure what difference it made. Week 3 finished.

Was supposed to be another volume day, but by the 3rd set of bench I'd already made up my mind it was not gonna be. Will go traveling with gf over the weekend, so I didn't want to wear myself out. Was a little tired anyway for some reason. Did facepulls before pec deck because the machine was taken, and it felt great on my shoulders.Once upon a time (maxes 2020) ...

I finished the first cycle about 4th of February last year with SQ 285 x 4, and DL 345 x 4. BW was about 185, now I'm about 195-200 pretty consistently. My maxes next week are set at SQ 375 x 4 and DL 410 x 4, if I make them.
It hasn't been smooth sailing the whole way through. I failed max days in a few cycles on either SQ or DL. I'd hit one and fail the other, then next cycle fail one and hit the other. Just part of being intermediate I guess. One idea I've been throwing around is to deload completely after every second or third cycle. Haven't tried it yet, but never taking a full deload might be one reason why my lifts were inconsistent in some cycles.Once upon a time (maxes 2020) ...

Normally the 10x3 kills me but today the MR10 did it. Looking forward to next cycle.
Last year about this same time I did this day at 230 for MR10, and then 220 for the 10x3. So, it works, but it f*ing hurts.
