Today was different.

First, I’m experimenting more with pyramiding. Starting at a moderate weight with higher reps, then each set increasing the weight and so of course the weight goes down. If the heavier sets involve a little cheating, fine. Then last set drops the weight and the reps (hopefully) go up. Going to see what that does for me.

For giggles then on the hammer curls, after the last set I just ran down the rack… whatever the next DB was, just pick it up and go until I couldn’t rep it any further, drop and go to the next one, repeat until I got to the end of the rack.

Only about a week left on the mid… still at 219, then back on the loser train.
