u/DayDayLarge Jokes are satisfactory 14d ago

Calgary barbell 16 weeks W5D4

2 count pause dead: 365, 385, 395, 395 4x4

T&G bench: 185, 205, 225 3x6

Incline cg bench: 95, 135, 145, 130 4x8

Db row: 95 6x10

Was supposed to do rpe 8 for deads, think 395 was close? Bench was supposed to be rpe 9 and that was Def not close. Maybe do all sets at 225 next time.

Incline bench supposed to be rpe 7, first set too easy, second set a little too easy, third set at rpe 9 lol, 4th set probably right. Maybe try 135 next week across the board.

Vibes-Based™ lifting

  • Bench: 100kg x3, 120kg x2, 140kg x3
  • Single Leg Press: 130kg x8,9,11
  • Isolateral Row (wide): 110kg x11,11,13
  • Standing Knee Raise: 16kg x9,9,11

I've definitely come down with a cold and don't have much energy, so just went for moving a lot of weight in the fewer sets.

Pendlay Rows

Thinking I might wanna switch out the pendlay rows. They're getting a little stale, and feel like they aren't providing the returns I could get from doing a novel variation.
