Incline DB press back up to 95 x 5
PR was 95 x 8 (or was it 10?) and 100 x 6
switched to chin ups from doing pull ups for years. Ever since i started training i was doing chin ups. switched to pull ups thinking it would help my posture more. but you know what, i keep cheating on my form anyway by making my elbows point forward instead of the sides. so i switched back to chin ups for consistency. and they feel much better anyway. currently at 70x4 ish
RDL at 375x5. now that i'm bulking and eating a lot of carbs (but more healthy ones, oats, dates, honey, not too much junk food) i'm having crazy fast recovery. i do an upper lower split and i'm thinking of working out 3 days in a row lol. i've never done an actual proper bulk before - usually i get more protein on a cut than a bulk lol because i eat like a fool when "bulking" in the past. this time i'm trying to bulk with 200g protein per day minimum, and be at a 500cal surplus on lifting days but 0cal on rest days.
kind of want to start focusing on incline BB bench. reasons: eventually DB is just going to get very inconvenient. the first rep gets near impossible to do without a spotter. and the dumbells can very so much from gym to gym that sometimes i have to use DB's 10lbs lighter than at another gym to get all my reps in. problem with BB incline is that i prefer a lower incline than what most gyms already have set up - and they're usually set up on non adjustable benches like my local gym. whatever, i'll aim for the 100x10 first before worrying too much about what to do
might start RDLing twice a week. right now i squat on on day and RDL on the other. but i may add RDLs after squats on squat day instead of doing back extensions. then i can do prone leg curls, abs, calves
