Until recently everyone was undertrained and suddenly everyone needs to lift less weight to manage fatigue.
The large majority of weekend warriors aren't lifting at an intensity at which any of this is relevant, and would be better off just doing more work. But if you're doing a good program and are capable of pushing sets hard then I think it becomes quite relevant. In other words, both things are conditionally true.

Yeah if you’re resting to full recovery so you can max out rpe8 every time then sure.

But it’s worth making a distinction between relative and absolute load. It matters way more when you’re doing hyper specific programming with 500+lb loads.


Football today, getting back into it, I’m so slow

Nice to know that after 4 months and losing 10 lb I still got it

Raining today so dropped in at SF Iron, the place famous for being obsessed with Thursdays at 3:30. Really fun being able to DL and use all the different bars, still not worth $600/month.

Incline bench first to stall on the LP. I'll just start adding volume instead of adding weight, lots of work capacity left and want to push my lower body lifts before starting a BBM template (either 12 wk hypertrophy or bridge 2.0)

Surprised to see this looking back at the log but those are actually technically PRs. Hardly feels like a milestone but at this point I'll take any excuse to bring out the red font. Getting closeish to my lowest BW of the log as well. Real PRs incoming??

On a low food and bw day its expected that rows and bench would be hard, not too concerned, but going to keep opting for overloading volume and staying away from @9.5 lifts

A bit more cheating than I want to see on the rows, will probably see more gains with higher reps

I haven't quite been doing 3x sessions/week, since I've been playing football 1-2x per week. Really physical league, body is pretty banged up.

Makes sense I guess that a few days off, some weight gain, and no squats before makes this easier. 135 feeling very possible now.

Not sure what happened here, randomly super sore and squatting was impossible. Channeled my inner RPE management and at least got it done somehow.
