Limited time and not feeling great meant I didn't do legs.  Probably hit those tonight.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Smith inclined barbell bench 90x12+80x6, 90x10 +80x5 +pause & 2 more, 90x9 +80x5 +pause & 70x5, 70x12. Added a rep on set one, dropped 1 and paused on set two, added a drop set back on set 3.  Pretty steady. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Machine biceps curls 62.5x26, 70x24, 70x21, 70x16 +60x6. Added 2.5lb and dropped 4 reps back on opener, added 2 reps on set two, 1 rep set three, 1 drop set rep set four. Tempo suffering a little. Trying to keep it smooth. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Machine rear delt flies 70x22, 80x12 +70x6, 80x14 +70x5. Added 2 reps back set one, had to break set two into a shorter opener and a drop set, then added a drop set to set three. This was pretty comparable to last time, but less apples-to-apples probably in part because I was rushing so had a little less rest between sets.</li> </ul>Overall not bad, and I did it in closer to 45min than an hour, so mostly holding steady and progressing a little on biceps feels decent.  I'm already second-guessing myself a bit and wondering whether I should try a mesocycle or two without the drop sets, or alternately, do the drop sets but give myself a rest day between my bench/biceps/rear delts day and my pulldowns/triceps/overhead press day. But I know consistency is important, so I at least want to finish out this mesocycle on this same plan as the last one.  Stalling a bit could also be a result of just not eating enough to feed the growth, and the scale actually showed a bit of gain this morning, so I want to put more effort into the eating and see if that makes a difference.</blockquote>
