Legs was legs. Nothing fancy, no changes.

I may adjust to

Tue - Heavy Legs.
Thur - Hack/Dead/Squat - And then Core/Abs, because I'm unfortunately going to need to start working on that again.

After work, its Upper/Back. I'm still sore from Monday which is surprising but I guess the lower reps is working to push things in a new way.

Good Back. 200 on rows.

I'm frustrated because my pull is nothing near my push. Then I remember my Dips are way high than pull up, so..I guess?

Still, Back and Shoulders 2026!

Tuesday I took off. Wednesday evening:

• Smith inclined barbell bench 70x21, 90x9 +80x6, 90x9 +80x4 +70x4, 70x14. Dropped 1 on set one, 1 net on set two, and 1 rep on each of the drop sets on three. Seeming pretty stalled here. I want to keep consistent, but I added the fourth set to try to compensate for the stall with volume.
• Machine biceps curls 60x26, 70x24, 70x23, 70x22 +60x7 +50x10. Added 2 reps on opening set, 1 each on sets two and three, and a net of 2 reps on set four. Really having to fight for the last reps. It's not a smooth tempo; got some pauses. I might change my focus here a bit to getting the form more strict and eliminating the pauses if I can rather than pushing more reps right now.
• Machine rear delt flies 82.5x16, 80x16, 77.5x16. Kept steady from adding weight and reps on Monday.

Quads are still a bit complainy.

I think I'm going to count this mesocycle as starting Nov 17th. That's about when I settled in on doing these two (mostly) alternating sets of three exercises (plus the hack squats or leg extensions on weekends) and focusing on progress within them.

So Nov 24, Dec 1... Dec 8 will mark three weeks of doing that and trying to progress each week (and from session to session where possible). If I'm trying to do this in an organized way I should consider taking a slight deload the week of Dec 8-15, or the week after. And then maybe two more months of the same for a macrocycle, assess and see if and how I want to change things up.
