Maybe I'll add an extra 100kcal packet of almonds per day
Problem is my body seems to self regulate consumption pretty well, so unless I'm actively keeping track of all calories I'll probably just eat less overall. Keeping an accurate track is tough when I cook a lot, and even when I eat out, SF is very proud of having so few chains, there's rarely a clear calorie associated with each dish.

OHP w/ Lat Pulldown 5x10x55
3x5x100
1x5x80
1x10x65
This was an extremely tough lift, on the last rep got stuck for nearly 5 seconds but managed to get it up. Differently from previous stalls, even though this felt more difficult, I could feel my muscles engaging when needed. In the past it always just felt like once I couldn't do another rep my muscles had 0 power.
Not sure about dropping 15% to get 10 reps, I dropped 20% and barely got 5, at 35% I was able to complete 10 reps around RPE 8.5

Still amazed at how the paused set is still so ****ing brutal even though I haven't changed the weight for that in 3 months.

Nothing like DL to remind me how fun it is to lift heavy, and curls are great for feeling the gainz
BP/SQ/Lunge/Pullup just puts me down with how intense each lift is (pull-ups are ok fun). If I don't switch to hypertrophy immediately maybe what I need is to change the programming to make that day more enjoyable.
