Looks like bench is coming along nicely.

Man it really is I had at least 8 in my on my final set, I'm trying to remain to my program only adding 5lb a week but it's very tempting to jump in weights especially cause the bench session was after a long day of manual labour and the squats with minimal rests. I haven't had bench progression like this since I bought my slingshot to break through a plateau

5lbs a week will put you well into the mid 300's max, so may as well be patient and grow into it.

I'm ready for mine to get back where it was and beyond. I think I have a x3 @RPE 9 on bench this week, so I'll get a real idea about where I am.

I can't wait till mid July I'll be switching over to triples which will give me a real idea too. Ya that was kinda the idea if I can manage 5lb a week for the next 8 weeks then it should put me where I want to be and from there I'll just clean it up and make my comp push really clean. Where you figure your bench is sitting at now? Last meet you pushed mid 3s right?

Hit 370 then and hit 365 in the gym at 219lbs two months ago at my mock meet. I figure I'm a little lower now, but don't know how much. If I can hit 315-325x3 paused this week I'll be doing alright for the moment and once the gear kicks in and I'm in a calorie surplus for awhile it'll start going back up. In theory anyway.
 
So I've been off my leg this whole week and woke up to this today.

Looks like a solid lift session man and a strong bench.

Question about the leg though is the bruising new cause that would indicate a retear? When I tore my quad at my meet in March it was damn near instantly bruised and remained bruised for a couple weeks but after about a week it was the brownish yellow not the purple colour of a fresh tear.

I haven't done anything to strain or even aggravate it and it wasn't there last night. That's brand new KT tape from last night. So I don't know where the fuck the bruising came from

The other part I don't get is this. It's a perfect square and the pop I felt was at the highest point on my hamstring not the lowest
 
Last week rolled into this week again. working a fuck ton and not sleeping has been getting in the way. should be back to normal after this week. im dropping my RPE by 1-2 this week per my coach. feeling a little beat up and tired from working so much, not getting proper sleep or eating like i should. i should be back to normal after this week. might be okay by the end of this week.

Pulled something in my lat somewhere in there. Still pushed through, but there was some pain when I was letting go of the bar especially.

Got a little too aggressive here and called it after 3x5, still learning how to choose the weight and trying not to undershoot.

Deadlift paused at the knees
225x5
315x5 easy
405x5 RPE 8
365x5 RPE 8
365x5 RPE 8
Called it here even though the RPE was still 8 the pain RPE in my lat was becoming a problem.

Macros for the day. Calories were 4489

Also hit a wrong button inputting some food in MyFitnessPal and stumbled on this option.

My program continued:
OHP 155 4x4
Military OHP 105 4x8
Stretch

It was my deadlift/back accessory day and WP workout fit fairly well into what I had to do so I gave it a whirl for something a bit different. Unfortunately after my first shrug on the deadlift shrug combo going DOH grip it slipped and re-separated my middle fingers top knuckle even though I had my makeshift tape cast on, a lot of pain compressing it back into place so I'll be going to buy a finger cast cause this is getting dumb I've rebroken it 3x in 2.5 weeks it'll never heal at this pace. I finished the workout with straps on then dropped to 275 for the single dead and shrug for 5 mins so I could DOH no issue and have my ten second brakes without having to be strapped to the bar so I could stand and have a drink and such, didn't matter though cause 10 seconds isn't enough time to do anything besides stand up and reposition.
