Glad to hear man!
I’m making it work, it will be much easier once the home gym is back together. The house build stuff has been a constant headache, I can’t wait until we move in!

Bench
Bar x 10
65 x 5
85 x 4
92.5 x 4 x 4 sets (204 lbs) RPE 7, 7, 7, 7
Tried to explode up, moved nice, could be quicker (said the actress to the bishop) could be tighter (said the bishop to the actress)
Squat
Bar x 10
65 x 5
85 x 5
100 x 8 x 3 sets (220 lbs) RPE 5, 5, 5
New belt on for these. Felt pretty good. Reps were easy hardest thing was breathing !
Bar felt light, to the point where when I was getting tight under the bar it came up before I was pushing it.
Row
80 x 6 x 4 sets
Pull ups (close grip, palms facing me)
6 x 3 sets
SS hanging knee raise
15 x 3 sets
Some curls to get that big arm pump!!
New belt tonight, felt a little stiff but that will go after a few more sessions. I really love the first week of a block, weights are a little lighter so everything moves really nice. Makes you feel strong. Quality

I was expecting you to follow that with a dig about my age.

Missed my normal Friday night session because the wife was out at her Christmas work party. Going to train on Saturday night instead.

Reminds me of the meme where the guy is at the party and is like “Why do none of these people even lift”

First felt a little slow, second was better, third was best
Db Row

Good little Saturday night session. Deadlifts were fast and easy, squats were good but still hard work and bench was a little slower than i wanted. Still happy with it, and still riding the gainz train!!

Looks like you might benefit from another warm up set before 85.
It’s funny seeing RPE 3 in your log!

I was thinking another warm up might help but when there is multiple sets I just figured the first is kinda like a warm up anyway!! RPE 3 is funny because it sounds too easy !???
