Comments:

 :personal-record: in the bench press - decided to do less sets, just 3, so I don't overtrain. I feel like I don't recover well as my sleep is usually interrupted. Squat was good but difficult from a heart rate/cardio perspective, felt overwhelming.

Still, the leg press quad+calf high rep sets were good. Also did some stretching.

Squat focus day 12:

Cable kickbacks (used to wake up my glutes):

25x10
25x10 (felt great)

Low bar squat:

20x8
50x5
80x5
100x5
100x5 old age :personal-record:
80x5 (explosive)

Bench press:

20x5x2
40x5
60x5
60x5
60x5

RDL + Leg curls:

60x8 + 64x8
80x8 + 80x8

Bodyweight: 92.6 kg
Exhaustion level: 10/10

Comments:

Very high heart rate after every set. After the squat sets I had ~165 heart rate with dizziness. Even while moving around in the gym after a few minutes my heart rate was ~135 or so. I need some input on how you guys have your heart rate immediately after 5-rep sets and after a few minutes.

I also found out that my heart rate during sleep increased from about 53-55 bpm to 60 or so - a clear sign or overtraining. Will need to rest a few days and focus on recovering.

I think I can squat low bar about 130 kg. The problem right now is with very high heart rates - I'm afraid something bad might happen if I keep this up. What's your heart rate after a heavy set of 5 squats and usually during your rest periods?

I don't have data from a watch, but this lines up with my experience after near-failure sets on heavy leg things like RDLs/Squats/Leg Press etc.

Haven't squatted near failure recently but it has always been like that for me too.

...so...it's not really that high of a heart rate? The other people in the gym don't seem to wobble around after every squat set they do.

Bench focus day 13:

Bench press:

20x8
20x5
40x5
60x5
70x4
70x3
70x3 old-age :personal-record:

Cable kickbacks:

25x10
25x10 (glute activation felt good)

High bar full squat:

20x8
60x8
60x8 (felt tired so ditched the 3rd set)

Leg press calf raises:

120x18, 120x20

Bodyweight: 92.6 kg
Exhaustion level: 8.5/10

Comments:

 :personal-record: in the bench press again. I rarely went in the 70 kg range until now.

I also did some good high bar full squats with a high rep range, should actually do 10 reps but I feel super dizzy and tired after each such set. The idea is quad and glute development, since in the high bar I take the hamstring contributions away from the hole.

I terribly dislike taking blood samples, so no. But I will tell you a story about vitamin B6, soon.

Squat focus day 13:

Low bar squat:

20x8
50x5
80x5

100x5 old age  :personal-record: in terms of effort and intensity

Bench press:

20x10
50x10
50x8
50x8 (difficult, high rep ranges are very difficult)

RDL + Leg curls:

50x10
80x8+80x8

Bodyweight: 92.6 kg
Exhaustion level: 10/10

Comments:

I feel super bad daily and today was no exception. My hunch is a hiatal hernia which gives me the vast majority of my symptoms. Still, went to the gym and the workout was very good, especially the squat. High rep ranges are very difficult for me in the bench press and any exercise in general, but should be useful.

Back focus day 2:

Pullups: 4, 3, 3 (didn't focus on sets but instead on totalling 10 reps)
Chinups: 4, 3, 3

Hip thrust:

60x5
80x10
80x10
80x10
80x10 (great, felt really good)

Dumbbell incline bench press:

Exhaustion level: 8/10

Comments: Very weak in the chinups and pullups. One reason could be the fact that the handles are very thin and my hand is very long so I don't grip them well.

Hip thrusts were good although I used lots of padding, some big double sponges and additional bar padding.
