The road to 1500..

Good mornings 235 6RPE till 9RPE
15SETS 2REPS (need to bump the weight up on this range)

Double Paused Bench
Worked up to 295 for one set but wasn't the RPE I was supposed to do
285 8RPE till 9RPE
4SETS 5REPS

Was supposed to to paused at knee deadlifts. So since I can't DL right now I did paused half ROM leg curls instead.

Bench felt Hella strong and explosive. Especially for 2 second pauses. Asked a guy to spot me on my last set and he almost grabbed the weight off me my first set. Guess I should have told him what I was doing

I thought they were one and the same. I'll have to ask my coach. But after seeing some youtube videos they are not the same.
 
Yeah, I'd never heard of double paused bench press, but if it's like double paused deadlifts I'd assume a pause at the bottom and a pause at your sticking point.

Edit: that's what I thought it must be. Two count would just be a single pause for the count of two.

was surprised how the paused squats went. felt really good. i recently switched back to wearing chucks instead of romaloes and widened my stance a bit. Seems to be helping a ton. bench was still just mehh. its not where i wouldve liked to have been.

Good looking session there. Your back injury all good on the sumo block pulls?

Rib injury and yeah it felt great. i just decided during my session to try them out as im close to the 6 week mark anyways. next week would have been 6 weeks exactly. got to work this morning and saw my coach had emailed me and asked how the ribs were doing since it almost been 6 weeks. needless to say ill be deadlifting this afternoon!!

Nice, I remember I wasn't familiar with the term you used when it happened, I just assumed it was a back injury. Good luck on your deadlift session this afternoon, hopefully it's pain-free and you can get back on track.

Wasn't where I would have hope. But I figured this was gonna be where I was at doing 480 instead of 500. I'll be back up to it next time the 5's roll around. Just glad to be deadlifting again pain free!

All of my paused at the knees were done beltless. Which I felt beast mode on. Wanted to train shirtless I was feeling myself that hard. Hahaha

Bench felt good. got a little out of the groove on the 3rd rep but i recovered well. paused squats also felt great after warming up. glad i switched over to my chucks from romaleos. seems to have helped a ton.
