Missed posting a workout for Saturday. Today was

flat bench 3 x 6 @ 185
close grip bench 3 x 6 @ 155
cable fly 3 x 6 @ 60
wide pulldown 3 x 6 @ 160
underhand pulldown 3 x 6 @ 160
seated cable row 3 x 6 @ 204
cable curl rest/pause 3 x 6,6 @ 65
cable lateral raises rest/pause 3 x 6,6 @15

This felt like a full workout. Bench felt pretty good. Close grip bench work has helped.
Cable lateral raises were a real surprise with that little weight but nothing higher would go up.

Lying leg extension or leg curls make hack squats easier. I have to do SSB bar first in my garage, otherwise I’d do them before squatting as well.

Today it was about 4 minutes between each set of rows and presses. This was the hardest workout for me for the week. For deadlifts I usually rest about 2 or 3 minutes between sets but normally I take about 45 to 90 seconds. I also drink a lot of water after each different exercise.
