Bull Mastiff Macro 2 Week 2 (Base) Day 1 Squat
Comp Squat
Extensive leg press warmup to 480x6
225x6
235x6
240x8
Could feel the leg pulling, but it didn’t twang even at full depth. If I take the descent slowly it should be okay from here on out. All reps I was popping out of the hole.
RDL
245x12
255x12
45 degree Hyperextension
70 2x12
Leg extensions
130x15
135x15
Seated Leg Curl
140 2x12
Ab Wheel from knees
2x15
Didn’t expect to be able to do that first time back at it.
Easy, easy. But adding another set to each movement next week will make it a bunch harder.

Deadlift
335x6@5
350x6@5.5
360x6@6

Pretty sure I’m going to be repping 400+ before the end of this meso.
High Bar Close Stance Squat, slant blocks
185x12@5
205x12@6
A little tightness on the right, no leg twang
1 Arm DB Row
75 2x12@6
Seated Leg Curl
140 2x15@6
Much easier than on squat day, even with more reps on same weight.
Seated Leg Extension
140 2x12@6
Hanging Leg Raises
1x15 (straight leg)
1x15 (knee raise only)
Trying to respect the prescribed weights and RPEs, except on the ‘plus’ set. Might forestall tweaking a leg by doing so. AI started me out too light on some things

370 x 10 on deads is strong. Great cardio too.

135 felt about right. Then the AI said 145 so…
Racks were busy, had to go to the aerobics room and clean these
Wide Grip Bench Press - index finger outside rings
155 2x12@6
170x12@9
I don’t know why the AI bumped it to 170, but that was fun.
JM Press
135x12@8

I started too high. Should have been RPE 6. AI had no recommendations on this one.

Quads fatigued quickly on these. That’s okay, rep tolerance will build back up.

145x12@6.5
145x12@7
145x12@7
Felt like I could do more on these though.
Blast Strap Fallouts
BW 2x15 (Full extension from feet)
I may stick with these for bit and then go back to the ab wheel, but rolling from the feet.
Gym was busy tonight. Had to change the order of exercises as I waited for stations to open up.

Took these deeper than last time. Wore my oly shoes instead of using slant blocks. Not a peep from the adductor. Right knee takes a bit of time to warm up.

Some dude was camped out on the leg extension machine so I did these.
Roman Chair Leg Raises
2x15, 12, 10
I don’t think I would have been good for much on the leg extensions after those squats. The split squats were challenging.

Thanks Shane.
I’m so pumped - I’m way ahead of where I was last cycle at this time.

Supposed to do squats tonight, but back is still tired from pulling up carpet and removing the tack strips.
So pushing it off to tomorrow.
Have to tone down my alcohol intake too - it’s affecting recovery.

Controlling the bottom position well. All the reps were pretty fast
RDL
245x12@6.5

Wasn’t sure about these going in. Low back was a little pumped after squats, but it went fine and the weights moved fast here too.
Seated Cable Row
190 3x12@7
45 Degree Hyper Extensions
80 3x13@7
Quad-Focus Split Squat
BW+40 3x15@7
Kept losing my balance after rep 12. I’m subbing these for leg extensions because I want more squat-type exposure and these still hammer my knees in a good way
Seated Leg Curls
150 3x12@7
Skipped abs. Pulled my right oblique somehow. Nothing serious, just annoying. Good thing I bought a heating pad.
Good session.
