8s Realization Bench Day

Bench Press: 10x45/5x125/3x150/2x175/1x190/8+x200-7 completed (+0 TM)
WG CS Row: 3x160-8/7/8
Pinch Grip Side Laterals: 15x10/10x15
Pullup: 4x-8/6/6/6
Chest Press: 15x225/3x275-7/7/7

Baaaah. Bench is still crap, but at least the shoulder doesn’t hurt now. Just gotta get used to the new movement patterns.

Was just looking back on your previous DL day.
Was that 8 sets 3 reps @355? That’s a lot of work! I did something similar few months ago where I did 10 sets of triples on DL and was wiped out. You run this rep pattern on DL often?

Three sets of 8 with 355. The last set should have been more like 10-12, but I felt form breaking so stopped. And that’s actually not my highest volume deads. My last 10s Accumulation day was 4 sets of 10 at 295, then a set of 11 at the same.

Oh man that’s even better!
3 sets of 8 reps of nearly double body weight!!!

Yeah, but to be fair, I’m built for deads. Long legs (41” from foot to hip and I’m 70” tall), long ass arms (24” from Xyphoid to wrist) and short torso. It does make my bench and squat suck relatively speaking though.
