Benched Monday - bicep felt and shittier than expected, and the weight felt heavier than expected. It happens. Top set was 215, hit it for 5 and called it good. While the weight felt heavy, I did absolutely 0 "psyching up" for it. Literally laid down, got tight and unracked it and went. Assistance was:
Military - 75 for 5x10 superset with
DB curls - 15s for 5x20
One-arm rows - 5x10 - 70, 70, 70, 65, 65 superset with
Cable tricep pushdowns - 5x20
Squatted today - similar story in terms of shittiness of the session - the combination of a few beers last night plus lack of sleep lately combined to kick my ass. Still got the work in, but ugh.
Squat - top set was 255x5
Squat - 150, 5x10
Good mornings - 95, 5x10 superset with
Kneeling band crunches - 5x10
Gotta start getting way more sleep, and I think things will start to look a bit better. I realize I'm weak as sin, but oh well. Plan is to run this for 3 months, then I'm going to try Wendler's 100 rep challenge program afterward (continuing on the hypertrophy phase). It'll be a hellacious mental challenge, but it should be fun. I do think some of the slightly higher-rep work I'm doing now will be helpful, but certainly won't be any guarantee of success.
