Squat: For the sets preceding the top set were some of the most explosive sets I've had in ages, pretty chuffed, although as usual 8RMs are a ball busting grind.
Bench...left pec felt funny when I did 110kg, decided to plow on. During the top set it felt worse and worse and basically started to bench asymmetrically so I decided to terminate at the 5th rep. Didn't fancy having my pec reattached today.
Barely got all 8 reps for the Pendlay rows so might start micro loading them.
As I mentioned previously I was thinking of using TM for bench. However it seems like it requires that the intermediate day between volume and intensity requires you to only do medium OHPing, although it alternates between bench twice a week and OHP twice a week, every week. I'm coming into my 6th week of 5/3/1 for OHP so I'm hesitant to change again, or to ignore the guidelines. With this in mind I think I'm going to transition into doing 5/3/1 for the bench as well, with some paused benching as assistance. Assistance being on sunday and the money sets on Wednesday. If the opportunity arises somehow I might see if I can make some quick gains on TM, however it's unlikely.
5/3/1 deload week for the OHP and deadlift is in a couple weeks time so for congruence I'll just do some medium benching next week then deload with everything else after.
