2/7

Wide grip paused
275x5 @8.5
275x4 @8.5
275x5 @8 (did these feet up )

Feet up lower RPE because I got liftoff. My right elbow likes to tuck a lot while my left doesn't. This happens when he effort or RPE starts to go up on barbell movements. DBs not so much. Any thoughts here would be cool

Incline DB
65s x10
75s x10
95s x8 @8
75s x10
75s x6 @9

Incline DB row
25s x2 amraps

Band pullaparts
Curls
2x

Whenever I get up there in RPE (8+) my right pec acts up I guess. Either I just lift light forever or figure this thing out. Incline DBs didn't give me any problems at least and I've never done 95s. Only full reps here though.

Are you on any programming? Or just gaining weight? Crunchy recently hit a whole bunch of PRs just "clicking buttons" at the gym but gaining weight.

It seems like I am getting close to solving Lifting for both strength and hypertrophy. I will be releasing my fundamental theorem of lifting soon.

Lmk when you solve the problem and I may be a fake natty tester for you depending

When you act like you know it all and actually know how to put on some mass, you can build a back so wide that no matter how fat you get no one can ever tell. Just like no one can tell if you lift if all you have is abs

Paused HBBS

(Last set @8.5 lol)

Military press
135x8
135x8 @7

GHRs

Right hammie cramping so stopped.

Starting next week my main lower body day will be Tuesdays. I'm considering hitting lower body again on Thursday on short rest which to me gives the most rest for main day Tuesday.

Cha wants me to hit pulls on Saturday or swap the pull and squat day but I really hate deadlifts right now because of how much they take outta me. We'll see lol.

Nearly fracked my right shoulder up kicking 80 up to press. Didn't get to do what I wanted because saw a friend and talked more than I trained and gave myself a time limit to stay at gym.

Pretty happy to hit what I did since I did same muscles yesterday
