Workout was okay. I wasn't able to get my 2nd rep in my last set of the bench press. I rested for 5 minutes because I wanted to try again, and I was still only able to get 1 rep. I didn't feel that strong today. That happens to me sometimes. Oh well. The strength will come back next time.

You are right about that extra day of rest scump. I normally would have, but I was trying to squeeze the workout in before I headed out of town.

That extra rest day always did wonders for me. Regroup, reload and press on. We're all here for you!

Great workout today. But, leg workouts are always good. Up'd the weight on SLDL. Solid form, and I didn't struggle at all to get them up. The stretch felt great.

GLP1 Workout 4: Squats

Squat: 10 x 190
Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 6 x 275

Squat: 8 x 275
Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 6 x 275

Squat: 6 x 295
Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 6 x 275

Squat: 4 x 320
Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 6 x 275

Squat: 2 x 350
Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 6 x 275

Squat: 3 x 365
Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 6 x 275

On the 5th set, I was supposed to use 340, but I added up the weights wrong. At least my mistakes are always in a positive direction. Also, I added a 3rd rep for my 6th set because I knew I had it in there. Woohoo!

EDT Block:

Romanian Deadlift: 6 x 245
Goblet Squat: 6 x 95

Romanian Deadlift: 6 x 245

Awesome stuff!

Completely natural to miss a rep here or there. Keep pushing!

Thanks Rob. I love the encouragement on this forum. I know that I wouldn't be able to push myself as hard without this.
