Gym 05/10/07
First time back since 05/09/19 after which I was in Bali for a couple of weeks. Working during day is making getting to the gym off peak tricky; not sure what to do about this.
Anyway, turned out to be a hard workout with mild hangover. Quite stoked to have persisted with it despite really wanting to cut it all short.
Have switched workout to warming up with 30-40% of 8RM (final set) and then hitting 8RM on second set without intermediate. Final set is same or slightly heavier. This is what I’ve been doing with bench and leg extension and both have been steadily increasing while the others that’ve had higher “warm-up” sets seem to have been stuck, presumably due to volume eating into mass on final set.
Pride over that 105kg hasn’t worn off yet
