Notes

Little lower trap tweak on right hand side during final OAC set, sort of thing that goes away after a day I think.

Once again I tell myself that if I get sub 70kg and gain just a little bit of OAC strength, I should finally have it. May mix in some negatives/eccentrics for a different stimulus as things progress.

Moving the previous Tuesday workout to Wednesdays so that I get a full rest day before it. It's my "A day" for OAC strength work, so want to be fresher if possible.

Legs still sore from last workout, so was expecting this to be a bad session, but basically progress everywhere despite a new low weigh in, nice!

My adjustible DBs only go up to 32.5, but I don't mind doing higher reps for those things.

Making this Sat workout my "light" day re OAC, not allowing any meaningful rep slowdown etc, but rest the same as Tues.

Overshot the cals by about 500 yesterday but woke up lighter. Weird.

Happens to me too! I usually attribute to one of two reasons: (a) sometimes being in a deficit can just lead to water retention from stress, and having a higher cal day alleviates that; (b) when I overeat, it's often because I've had less fibre/less satiating food and more calorie dense things, so there's just less mass in the gut.

Notes

Even with this lower volume, my legs felt less recovered than upper body. Has been that way for a while. Didn't feel full strength on the leg curls or the leg press. Don't mind not having to do more, just noting the surprise element of it.

Very high heart rate after every set. After the squat sets I had ~165 heart rate with dizziness. Even while moving around in the gym after a few minutes my heart rate was ~135 or so. I need some input on how you guys have your heart rate immediately after 5-rep sets and after a few minutes.

I don't have data from a watch, but this lines up with my experience after near-failure sets on heavy leg things like RDLs/Squats/Leg Press etc.
