Comments:

For some reason the bench press felt difficult. I think I would've done 7 reps on my first set, then 6 reps was a max on my second and the third was too burned out so I did only 4. RDLs were good, but the limiting factor is grip strength, not leg strength. I probably can do 130x6 without the grip strength limiting factor.

The main issue right now is being too heavy and I really need to get lighter.

Wouldn't this drive you into the ground neurally speaking?

Im able to improve even the last lift of the day. So even if it does, i’m still gaining on all lifts

I also have ample rest between workouts now. This is a nice change up to put on some size before i decide to lean more towards strength work again

Let me tell you it feels amazing to train to failure yet leave the gym with energy. The endorphins hit different. When i beat myself up too much with many sets and a longer workout, cortisol rises. Or at least thats what i think it is. It rises to the point where i cant even stand to have my headphones in my ear. I need to take them out and stop listening to whatever lecture was on. I get stressed similar to the feeling of being overwhelmed with work or school

took the hillier and more technical trail toward the beginning, which slowed down overall average pace quite a bit. 443m/1453' of elevation gain, or a bit over 100'/mile. RPE 5. as these get longer and faster, i need to start taking some fuel with me. even at this distance it wouldn't hurt, although i don't need it.

84+ km for the week, nice. down week this coming week, then will be pushing past 90 and then 100 over the following two weeks. let's go.
