I'll keep an eye on how I'm feeling in the next few weeks to see if this impacts my back at all

15 mins 120-130bpm cardio

Thursday - Upper 1

Set 3 - 130kg x 8 (all comp paused)

Upon discussion with my coach, single arm lat pulldowns will be done AFTER bench. Seeing as I'm doing some capacity of warm up for shoulders before jumping on a bench, there's no need to be doing lat pulldowns prior

Right arm really not happy doing any sort of curl. Will need to discuss with my physio next week and get some physical therapy done too

Deadlift:

Set 2 - 240kg x 5
Set 3 - 250kg x 5

Not sure if I mentioned but my left thumbnail has come off fully from when I accidentally hit my thumb with a hammer. I'd been using straps the past couple weeks and have this week accepted the fact that I may need to pull hook grip with tape on my left thumb to make do so I did exactly that this week. Safe to say no interference!

B Stance Dumbbell RDL:

Set 1-3 - 57.5kg x 8

Didn't last long until I moved this post deadlifts but I'm warmed up and prepared to deadlift by the time I'm done warming up, so I figure these will still help even in the grand scheme of things even if done post deadlifts

Bulgarian Split Squat:

Set 1-3 - 170kg x 6

Glute Ham Raise:

Set 1 - Bodyweight + 5kg x 6

Sunday - Upper 2

Close Grip Bench:

Set 1 - 130kg x 10
Set 2 - 130kg x 9
Set 3 - 130kg x 8

Really finding a groove on bench again, feels good!

Iso Lateral Row/Pec Deck Machine:

Set 1- 175kg x 6/115kg x 14
Set 2 - 175kg x 5/120kg x 10
Set 3 - 175kg x 4/120kg x 10

So the gym pin doesn't fit and nor do any other pins

Rope Push down/Unilateral Dumbbell Preacher Curl

Set 1 - 60kg x 8/6.25kg x 8
Set 2 - 60kg x 6/8.75kg x 8
Set 3 - 60kg x 4/11.25kg x 8

Bicep felt cooperative doing this movement, the brachialis is the real culprit in this discomfort in feeling

15min 120-130bpm cardio

Everything on that panel looks well managed at 112.9kg, the six and a half hours of sleep is the one number I would be chasing up first.
