Gorgeous day today. Very warm.
Warmed up the usual way, with a bunch of dynamic work and what ended up being a fair amount of bar work. Used knee and elbow sleeves and some loose briefs for hip support.
Deadlift, 2-count pause, 3 reps at 7, 8, and 9 RPE: reached 305kg and got 3 legit, paused reps. No one was more surprised than I was. Tried another 10kg and failed miserably -- got maybe an inch off the floor with the first rep and was done.
Pin press, 4 rep sets at 7,8,9 RPE: 190kg and was done.
Squat, 2-count pause, 4 rep sets at 7,8, and 9 RPE: Improved nearly 10% over last time. No idea where it came from. Depth was good, pauses were strict, and I felt great out of the hole.
Honestly, today was a fantastic effort. I felt like I could have approached a 1RM on squats, and my DL felt better than it has felt in recent memory. Everything felt good today. I was pretty well stimmed up (AtLarge Axcel, but I didn't take them until right before I hit the rumpus room, so it can't account for much.
Very pleased with the way this is going. I was starting to feel that maybe the volume was too low, but I went in today feeling a little tired. We'll see what I feel like tomorrow. I'm supposed to have another session tomorrow that I may move to Saturday.
Loving this. Off to eat.
