172.5*1 -belt-
185*5 -belt- NEW REP PR!
185*4 -belt- (something about the setup wasnt quite 100%, could MAYBE have gotten a fifth if everything would have been mustard)
185*3 -belt- (fukn calf pain)
130*10 -belt-
Fuckin A! First set fried me like an electric chair, though. Gotta cool my tits for a jiffy - multiple AMRAP worksets is how I stalled way back in the day. Thinking on how to proceed - do I go 4*3 with an eventual bonus rep on the last set next week?

Second workset was beastly. Took four reps in the same breath, could have tacked on a sixth with relative ease. Third set was hard but went. Left shoulder ached throughout - it's that bicep or pectoral tendon again.

Form got a bit sloppy. Last three reps on last set in particular were sloppy joes.

Dont know what I should do, my form still feels strange. Maybe load down to 190kg and work fives from there? This shit is frustrating as fuck.

Gotta start doing these again. There's no rationale to my upper back becoming so weak in the deadlifts all of a sudden. Let's flesh it out.

Considering I got a handy earlier in the day and did not feel like a bundle of TNT this weekend I'm happy that I managed to crank prescription reps out alongside a bit of volume.
Pullups (102kg)
BW*5*2
+10kg*3*2

Total: 122kg
These felt good, good pop off the bottom (grantef that I didnt pause at the bottom though). No ROM-issues whatsoever.

Started the day off with some lying leg

150*3 -belt-

180*1 -belt-
190*3 -belt- NEW MAX AND 3RM (third rep was a grinder but went up)
190*3 -belt-
190*2 -belt- (lost hip flexor/quad tension at the bottom, called it a day at 190, but probably wouldnt have been able to crank out a third anyway)
130*10 -belt-
Felt sluggish til I went all slap-and-grunt-crazy on the worksets. I need a pitchfork up my ass every now and then. Maxing out next week prior to my off-week/deload/easter break.

Sure, one more rep at 190kg on the last workset would have been nice, but all things considered I feel good for next week's maxing.
Other:
- one 400mg caffeine pill, tsp and a half of instant coffee in the morning.

Set-up and overall body tension wasn't 100% - still managed above prescription (expected fours). Form turns to shit on later reps - losing lat tension resulting in bar drift towards head.
