Went in to the gym just to get moving again. Also trying to work on knee travel and bar path on my squat. I think I have a tendency to squish at the bottom so the bar path gets over my toes making the weight heavier than it really is. Squat is obviously my weak link so going to focus on this a lot for the rest of the year

Time to get back to work this week! Will be starting the Ai Coaching from Garrett Blevins and I am also going to be incorporating a slow cut. I have gotten very soft around the mid section so will be aiming to loose around 1-2lb a week. Nothing fancy just counting calories and macros.
 
So volume was a thing last night!

Deadlifts - All sub 6 rpe but my positioning felt really good one these.

(RPE limited by my lungs rather than strength. Been a long time since I did that many reps on a squat)

Its plate loaded, so you can load it up with pretty much anything

I just literally tested the waters with a pathetic 20kgs for a couple of sets of 12.

That’s what I meant, e.g. that you went to 30-40% of squat 1RM range.

Enjoying the training so far. Seems A LOT of volume but will be sticking with this programming and giving it a chance for a couple of months. If nothing else it should improve my work capacity
 
@Browner

Am I right in thinking it’s a lot of volume but low per set counts? RPEs below 8 etc.?
Yeah, so for example the bench was 11 sets of 2 reps.

Overview of this week; (the sets/reps/intensity can change slightly depending on how you set the fatigue level. 1 being the lowest 10 being the highest.)

Well at least you’re pulling three days a week ;).


I imagine it’s a lot like a Greg Nuckols set up with RPE 7-8 all over.
