Push Emphasis. Incline bench press (5,4,3,2,1,AMRAP,50%), DB bench press (straight sets, 3-1-1-1 tempo), Tate press (350 method, 3-1-1-1 tempo), neutral grip cable rows (straight, 3-1-1-1 tempo), wide grip lat pulldowns (straight, 3-1-1-1 tempo). Farmers walk. 10 min bike.
.
Video of top incline press set, which I didn’t realize until after was a PR. Haven’t incline pressed in almost a year, and my bench went up, so this stands to reason. Had more in the tank too, but this cycle isn’t about PRing. Still, fun.
.
Solid session. Body is adapting to the work, which is good. Slight bump to assistance work. A little closer to failure.
.
Farmers felt good. Calf continues to improve. Oddly woke up in the middle of the night and found THE stretch that hits it just right. Huzzah!

Leg Emphasis 1. High-bar Squats (5,4,3,2,1,AMRAP,50%), leg press (quad emphasis, pyramid up), lying leg curls (350 method), seated DB press, incline DB curl, prowler push, bike.
.
Video of high bar AMRAP set (stopped at 10 tho). Bar path is better, but still needs work.
.
Week 3 starts. Certain exercises get a set added, to increase weekly volume. I also decided to refine some rep ranges. For example, squat ARAMP will go up to 10.
.
Calf feels pretty good. Still a bit tight, but I stretch it often and it’s improving. Still opted to walk the prowler. I think part of the injury was because while I was taking it light in some regards (weight, reps), but not in others (full on running). So, let’s scale back and truly start light, work up to it.
