Brutal session. It felt good to get in there and do some lighter pulls tonight. I decided to go for a 10 repper for whatever psychotic reason for my last deadlift set. That really kicked my ass. It took about 15-20 minutes to recover fully, but after that I was ready to tear things up again. I love sumo sldls against tons of band tension.

It always feels good to hit the heavy weights after coming off a deload. Inclines felt pretty decent; I got stronger every set. I really like these incline cable tricep extensions, but the stack I was using only goes up to 150 so I had to do some higher reps. The other cable stack is across the gym and I didn’t feel like carrying the incline bench that far today. Good workout.
