JC (08/24)- RSP Recovery

Next month or two will be focused on upping weights on a weekly basis. Volume will be decreased significantly, in which I will only lift heavy on Mondays and Fridays, and Wednesdays workouts are still undecided (might do front squats on these days). The rep scheme for my work sets will consist of 1 triple, 1 or 2 doubles, and 1-3 singles (meaning a max of 6-10 reps per exercise. The main point of this cycle is to focus on increasing strength while keeping volume low so that I may be ready for another RSP-like cycle down the road. I will also be doing heavy "holds" so that I may work on my small-muscle movements/joints.

Alright, now that that's out of the way, my first workout:

Bench press:
45x8, 135x5, 225x4
Work set-
275x3
300x2
300x2
315x1
315x1
315x1

Push press:
45x5, 95x5
Work set-
135x3
185x2
185x2
205x1
205x1
205x1
Meh, getting used to the movement. Also, triceps were still shot from last week's max day, so I didn't go too crazy here.

Back squat-
45x8, 135x5, 185x5, 225x3
Work set-
300x3
315x2
315x2
350x1
350x1
350xFail
Felt I did not rest enough for last rep (some guy was waiting for the squat rack so I kinda felt pressured, idk). Also important, I got stuck a bit of the way out of the hole- will video tape next time so I can get some critiques.

Edit:
455lb back squat hold for ~20 seconds.

Deadlift-
135x5, 225x5
Work set-
315x3
345x2
345x2
380x1
380x1
380x1
Not too bad for first legit deadlift session in months.
