Notes:
Was supposed to get 5x5x82.5 but i did an extra set. Not sure what to do next, whether to try 5x5x85kg or just jump to 87.5kg and start a new cycle, or stay at 82.5kg and go for 6x6. The decision might be made for me cos im going to start cutting, moderation isnt working, i need a hard reset and a cut can def reset habits in a major way.

yeah! it's tempting, sometimes i'll try do the hard thing (usually volume milestone) and if i find I cant, i will jump in the weights and start a new cycle as a compromise.

Seated Calf Raise - 4 sets (new exercise)

Notes:
The seated calf raise is something i wish i had tried out before, my calves were on fire! i was supposed to 107.5kg or 105kg but i felt like 'going heavy' so went up to 110kg (red+blue). not sure i will stick wiht it, form wasnt great but lets see.

Next time i am deciding whether to go for 6x6x85 or try for 5x5x87.5kg. leaning towards the former b/c it will improve my chance of getting the 5x5x87.5kg the following workout.

you're got pretty long legs, might be worth doing rack DLs? if you're not trying to compete and the exercise is just to build legs and back/shoulders, then who cares if they're off the floor?

trying to build legs / backs / shoulders is the main goal and competing never. i can see me running a 5k sooner than entering a PL comp .. which would never happen unless it's squat or bench only or something and i feel i could be competitive (not realistic). what put me off rack dls is whenever i contemplated them in the past i thought i was cheating on ROM which is something i still have a huge hangup about for some reason (i think it's hammered into you when you start lifting that partials = bad). i will try them this week and report back. thank you for the suggestion.

yeah i hear that about getting "partials are bad!" drilled in early on. even though i've been on here for almost the whole time that i've been lifting weights and adarq is the king of partials, so i should have known better. at any rate, "strength training is GPP" is a higher law than "partials are bad."

Notes:
Failed the last rep of bench press .. bit embarrassing .. but i just ran out of juice .. my right hamstring cramped etc. all things considered it was a solid effort on a day i felt even warmups heavy. it took so much out of my upper body that i could only manage 3 reps with 35kg. i'd have to check but id done sets of 6-8s or something like that previously?

and i just want to make a note in passing that the rack pulls made my hamstrings v sore. good stuff.
