They’ve been bothering my back and hip a lot, whereas pulls haven’t been. And I’m not doing a full power until august so I figured it wouldn’t be a bad time to back off.

No lift off today so I kept it lighter. Pauses felt solid.

Any asymmetry in your glutes?

If I send you a picture of my hamstring hearts can you analyze the symmetry of my glutes?

Leg drive was bothering my hip. Everything moved really well I just didn’t feel like lifting today. The close grips wer cg spotos.
Good work here! I’m considering taking more of an RTS RPE approach to training so will be lurking more to learn.
Seems like you don’t do many fatigue stops? Is this because your strength levels are high enough that you have to watch how much hard volume you do? I’ve looked at the general intermediate template Mike put out and honestly don’t see how I could recover from all that volume @ 9 RPE. Not advanced by any means, but I would consider myself a late intermediate.

I generally don’t use the stops or fatigue percents because i’m too lazy to plan out my training, not so much of a strength thing. The volume on the intermediate template isn’t too bad, the fatigue percents usually take care of how much you end up doing. You can always drop one of the supplemental movements off the template if its too much.

Lol sounds good! Yea, if I did something like the intermediate program I would probably only pull once a week.

Solid pulls. 585 moved pretty fast. I’m surprised that my DL isnt crapping the bed with my weight loss.

I’d say try it out as its written and if it doesn’t work modify it a bit.

Arms and stuff.
The bar I was benching with was bent and kept rolling in my hands. I think 375-385 is pretty doable right now.
Just completely glaze over hitting a 2xBW bench, why don’t cha.
