…And another update coming up!
OHP is treating me kindly still, with a 90lbx4 max effort set on its day, but I’m noticing a little bit of problem upon lockout now, as opposed to at the bottom/shoulder position like back in summer. I think I’m finally in a position where tricep isolation may be advisable now. Added more volume to dips for triceps and some high rep tricep pulldowns just to learn how to recruit em better.
It’s amazing how much having coffee helps for deadlifts. Did 8 smooth reps with 235lb for deadlift max effort set. Unfortunately bench day was disappointing, with a 125lbx5 grind, but that was the day after food poisoning and I couldn’t get lunch in because of busted appetite (among other issues…uhh) so I guess it’s explainable.
Squat day was the day food poisoning kicked in but thankfully(?) it happened just after my lifting so it wasn’t affected so badly, with a 190lbx5 max effort set. I’ve noticed that most of my form decay is at the bottom so I added in some 3 second pause squats after my 5/3/1 as assistance, here’s hoping it works out for me!
