Used an ultra wide grip on the first set of 10, then moved it in each set

Then 3 sets of each:
Standing french press
Single arm reverse cable pushdowns
Seated cable fly machine
Db lateral raises
Upright rows
Scarecrow press

Right now I’m following 5/3/1 loosely, setting up the lifts in the 3/5/1 order and doing incline press instead of military. Assistance is all over the place which I enjoy.

We should hang out

Can I join? I promise not to make you guys do squat day with me. :wink:

It feels weird not have a 50+ barrier between my squat and deadlift anymore (unless my deadlift got stronger).

pretty easy. I’m not happy with my form on easier days like this. I get lazy more often that not. I need to remember these cues next session:
-neutral spine (I look up most reps and this causes my neck and low back to hyperextend)
-knees out
-brace harder

I’m doing some sort of bastardized DUP program + lots of bodybuilding assistance. Basically applying the flexible smolov crap I did for my bench to the rest of the lifts.

300 2x4 I was wanting to get 6 sets and then deadlift but this was a 9 RPE somehow today. Considering Monday was off, this sucks. I was getting depressed, so I salvaged the session by getting a massive veiny bicep pump.

I’m hoping to hit 200 lbs a week from now

Getting aggressive with this. I should be able to beat 300 as I’ve just got more mass now. My style has been more bodybuilder-esque as of late so I’m really going to try and arch and use leg drive as the meet nears.

Ez bar skullcrushers

doing partials with these once my rom gives out
