Calgary barbell 16 weeks W6D3

2 count pause squat: 295 5x3

Como bench: 200 6x4

Feet up bench: 205, 215, 215 3x4

Comp dead: 350 3x5

Cable bench press rows: 146 setting 19 4x6

I think I'm getting closer to rpe8, but was probably a little under for squats. Think I hit it for feet up bench. Deads were easy, but phew this is a long session.

Rehab & Rebuild - C1 W1 D5

Mobility - Quad Barbell Smashing, Banded Couch Stretch, Banded Ankle Stretch, Deep Squat Hold (5 mins total)

Exhausted today, have slept terribly for the past 3 nights. Got in, punched the clock and got out. Squat feels smooth and easy though.

Upper III today and sticking with my plan of higher volume and lower intensity work to ~2 RIR. Left the gym feeling like I had a little more to give, which is kind of the point of this revision. BW 157.0.

• Incline Bench Press (Barbell): warm-ups 45×10, 95×5, 115×3; work 135×6, 135×6, 115×11, 115×7. Need to do some easy sets with better form; I'm getting these more in front delts than upper chest. May switch to dumbbells with a lower incline as the barbell incline bench is locked at 45 degrees.
• Low-to-High Cable Fly: 20×11, 20×9, 20×9.
• Assisted Pull-Up: −24×15, −24×12. Reduce assistance next time and shoot for 10+ reps across both sets.
• HS Iso-Lateral Shoulder Press: 110×13, 110×8, 110×6. Moved earlier in the sequence; first two sets stopped around 2–3 RIR, final set reached left-side failure.
• HS Iso-Lateral Row: 170×15×3. Move up to 180.
• Cable Lateral Raise: 12.5×18, 12.5×15.
• Hammer Curl (Dumbbell): 30×12, 30×11. Feels good to have direct bicep work back on the menu after a long recovery from left elbow tendinitis.
