what comes after P?

R.

i dropped my work set down to 315 today, as was my plan, in order that i may progress another 10lbs in this deadlift cycle. i felt off a little on account of probably stress and on account of probably because i didn't have infected mushroom playing at all to help me out and also on account of probably on account of my future in-laws were watching disinterestedly. i felt hurried and sloppy but the weight was the lightest i've worked with in four weeks so it went up real easy like.

then i did my dips and thought about what i was going to try for my single.

would it be work set + 15 as i'd been doing? that would be 330, which would be a single of only 5lbs more than my 5RM. that didn't seem right. i had considered earlier that the single i do should be 40lbs greater than the 5 rep work sets, on account of my timetable has me doing 5x370 the workout before i do 1x400, so i should be able to pull 40lbs more than my 5rm (yes, i know 400-370 = 30. MARGIN OF ERROR.)

anyhow, that would have me doing 1x355, which is 15 more than my last recorded 1rm. that seemed wrong too.

so i simply put on 5 more than last week's 1rm/pr, and hey whaddya know, it went up easy for a cool 1x345.

so there we have it. one last PR single while i'm single. unexpected, too, like a midday visit from 203 ;)
