Deadlifts overall went well, I feel as I deadlift almost every 2 weeks roughly that I'm not building familiarity with the hook-grip. I need to think about adding extra work on the other days, most likely barbell shrugs. The straps were harder to put as the barbell at my uni gym is thicker than the one I have at home, did last two sets beltless as well.
Bench was off because I never felt at home, tight, well-retracted on the bench at the gym. I'm so use to my home bench that it will take time to get use to the uni bench. Issue was I always had my line of vision too forward where I would like it relative to the bar. As I have no1 to give me a lift-off, I would end up losing retraction and fairly lucky didn't snap my shoulders up....although lets see how they feel the next upcoming days. Last set I unracked as I felt like I had lost tightness whereby making the lift unsafe, the weight actually felt fine - I think the plates weigh less than mine at home. On a small note, third set, middle 3 reps were more TnG than paused. Lots of hw to do for the bench press and set up fixes.
Other stuff are self-explanatory.
Next session Friday, thinking of actually increasing the weight subscribed on the spreadsheet for Squats, I originally put 145 as my 1RM - although this is less than my 1RM - at the time I had taken a break from lifting and was coming back from an illness. I might just bump that figure by 5-10kg. I guess this is me auto regulating but don't have experience of this on a periodised programme.
