Yeah, I'm always doing either squat + bench or bench + squat (all barbell exercises). It's pretty demanding but I'm trying to adapt to it.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

12x6 + 10x5 + 8x5

A - Cable Lateral
8 x 10, 10, 8, 7, 6 [adjusted cable height between first and second, is why there's no drop off I think]

Notes

Lying leg curl subbing in for seated. Really liked the feel -- felt better able to push hard without worrying about losing the groove or moving in the seat etc. I know the studies say seated is better b/c bigger hamstring stretch, but whatever. IIRC lying better for sartorius.

Always get this mega dropoff between sets on (overhead) tricep stuff -- really interesting how different muscles recover at different rates.

Notes

Great session, progress everywhere, but the "Session RPE" was high -- was reeling after most sets.

Changed lateral style to be more like this:
Felt much better, more of a stretched feeling at the bottom. Had previously been wary of this form bc wondered if it might be a bit rear-delty, but that didn't seem like it was the case.

Abs still sore from Saturday, but interfered less than I anticipated.

Notes

Weight staying stable, but I am seeing new lines in my abs I've never seen before, plus more definition all around, so expecting a whoosh some time soon.

Watching S2 of Phyisical 100 and feel like guys with traps just look bigger, so added shrugs in lol. Mildly embarrassed to say that the show made me want to get into Crossfit a bit. Maybe I'll give that a go some time.

Woop, new low weigh in. Hopefully some time in May I'll be solidly sub 70 and ready to call this quits.

Notes

I still v. occasionally get that hip pain that stopped me from running many years ago. Usually goes away if I drop squat patterns for a little bit, hence the leg extensions.

Need, _need_, to regularly work on dorsiflexion esp on right leg (hip pain leg).

Abs

Notes

Cold still lingering, so this was very tiring. Long rests between sets.

Switching up my hinge movement. RDLs feel more natural -- easier to focus on getting a hamstring stretch, and with the deficit I can go very deep, past where the plates would be hitting the ground if I did the lift from the floor.

Starting to get legit lean. Have a six pack without flexing even in bad lighting now. Cold aside, energy levels, libido etc remaining good! I'm still eating 2000-2200 kcal a day, and have dessert after dinner basically every day, so this cut has been very easy overall diet-wise. Gives me optimism that I'm actually still above, or at worst just approaching, my "lower settling point", and so should be able to gain with a very minor surplus straight away, rather than having to gain fat to get back into a good enviroment for muscle-building.
