Routine A - cycle 9 week 3
(figures in brackets represents projected 1rm from previous cycle / current cycle / actual)

set 1 - 69.5kgs x 15+3+3+3+3+3

Exercise Note: ~30 seconds rest between myo-reps, last couple of reps on activation set were really tough and my back is starting too feel 'tired' as it is getting hit every day (M, W & F with Pendlays and Tu, Th & Sa with deads and narrow grip chins) and also with issue with forearm pain decided to increase rest between myo reps to 30 seconds.

Lying Leg Raises / bottoms up

set 1 - 88.25kgs x 15+3+3+3+3+3

Exercise Note: ~40 seconds rest between myo-reps, activation set was a real struggle tonight needed a few deep breaths between the last three reps, myo reps sets were better but probably the 40 seconds rest was a bit too long, myo reps were very slow down with a very slight pause at the bottom

Feeling absolutely knackered before workout not a good sign!!!!! Not sure if this is the recent reduction of 10% in calories (unlikely as still consuming ~2300 kcal - bw x13) or the fact that training DUP style and currently in 95-100% rep max territory or myo-reps - my guess is it is a mix of DUP and myo-reps - will drop myo at this stage and see how it goes as only 18 days until holiday to celebrate my half century
