Lat pulldown 145x5x10 sets
Set every minute on the minute switched between overhand and underhand each set
Push downs 45x15x3 sets
Side bends 35x25x2 sets
Trying to push lat pull downs adding 5 lbs a week as long as I can
Other assistance exercises just getting the work in

Liking this set up more than the plain vanilla 531 so far
Having only 1 exercise you push on PR day I feel helps with focus
Only increasing training max every 6 weeks instead of every 3-4 weeks this way so in theory could go much longer before hitting a plateau
Also feel like the 5x5 day helps with drilling good technique - even an experienced lifter’s form suffers when taking a set to failure or near failure
2/2
HR 63
Weight 245.8 - expected higher ate pretty bad this week
Went to orange theory but monitor ran out of battery so no stats
Felt kind of beat up though had to do the squats late last night and squeeze in Orangetheory at 7am so took it easy

Thanks Simo, I do loiter here, haven’t commented yet, but well since now you’ve outed me…
Solid work @Well_Swung got some reps on me there! Interesting choice of training song there (no judgement mine is always a weird mix).

Yeah, nothing I like more than some good pressing, and 70 kilo for 8 is no joke. Good, simple lifting in this log from what I can see.
