Not a great day for bench. Wanted triples for the top sets, but that wasn't going to happen. Might need to get a bit more weight in my hands on one of the other bench days.

Felt like I was losing some upper back tightness again, but I might of figured out why this started happening - I had been driving my elbows under the bar before unracking, but for whatever reason, I haven't done that the last few squat sessions.

Paused Deadlift

105kg x 2
130kg x 1
150kg x 2 x 3 (belt) @7

Did lighter deadlifts today, instead of on Tuesday, to see if that leaves me fresher for the heavy deadlift day.

Took my time getting the elbows under the bar and getting set before unracking. Much better.

RDL
70kg x 5
100kg x 3
130kg x 4 x 6 @7

Leg Press: 75 total reps
Ab wheel: 3 x 8
Band face-pull to Serrano press: 4 sets

Changed how I perform the ab wheel to try and decrease hip flexor involvement. Started in more of a plank position with the ab wheel right under the shoulders, and just rolled it forwards from there. So the movement came from the shoulders, not the hips. Abs were still working hard, but I didn't feel my hip flexors. Maybe not proper ab wheeling, but I think that's how I'll be doing it from now on.
