Nice, nice

SS1B: OHP
Bar x 8
25 x 6
27.5 x 5
32.5 x 3, 5, 7, 4, 6, 8
Despite being fairly easy I actually was able to feel it a lot more as a delt movement than previously, so I'm liking this reset already.

DB Incline Bench
20s x 10, 10, 9, 9

Pendlay Row
52.5 x 8, 8, 8, 8, 8

SS2A: Alternating DB Curl

SS2B: V-Bar Cable Pushdown
23 x 11, 11, 11, 11

Notes

Two days off is wonderful, though they were busy and stressful days without a huge amount of sleep. Lower back feeling totally fine, which is great. If it were still a bit borked I would definitely have felt it doing pendlay rows, but we shall see how squats and DLs go tomorrow.

OHP
Bar x 8

37.5 x 5
35 x 5
32.5 x 5
30 x 12

Incline Bench

Dips

SS1A: Facepulls [different cable set so weights are different]

Notes
Slight painful shoulder click if I did the facepulls in a certain way, but everything else was good.

Edit: despite the programme calling for going up by 5kg when you hit >6 reps on the top set I'm gonna keep at 2.5kg on OHP since it is so stall prone.

Notes

Did my core work this week like a sensible person. All going in the right direction. Not bothered by relatively low tricep accessory volume -- the dips aren't counted there and there's obvs a lot of pressing in the programme (esp CGBP is gonna be triceps heavy work, too).

Progress tracker since starting nSuns. Formula for calculating max (est) is weight*(1+(reps/30)) which is basically the Wendler formula.



Squat and deadlift flying up.

Video of the top set of squats. Depth is decent, and I am happy with what my knees are doing -- I'm keeping them forward and using my quads out of the hole well. Decently upright back-angle as far as I can see from this crappy angle.

Probably had another rep or two, but still playing is safe and I'm progressing well so I'm not bothered about going balls to the wall unnecessarily.

Machine Preacher Curl [really slow eccentric]
18 x 14, 12, 12

Low to High Cable Flye
9 x 12, 12, 10
Just wanted to give this a go as I wasn't a huge fan of the machine flyes last week. I really like this and will try to make it a regular accessory movement.

Notes

Really very happy with today's OHP work. Nice to get over 10 reps on dips, too, especially when quite fatigued. I wonder what I could hit for max reps if fresh.

Thanks for comments on squat form, lbss. I'll try to film from a better angle next time I back-squat, though that may not be for a while as training is taking a reduced priority after this week until early June. Will try to get in the gym 2-3 times a week to do maintenance work.
