Well, as previously mentioned as a possibility, last week's lifting went to shît quick. Didnt hit any of the deloads aside from bench. Spent the vast majority of the week either driving, sitting in a chair, or asleep, so that didnt do my lower back or glutes any favors. But, im back at it this week. Still have to decide whether im going to pull sumo or conventional this mesocycle. Part of me is just tempted to pull conv up until i establish the 1rm for the peak then pull that sumo, but id also like to get a couple weeks of skill practice in before i pull a near max; so thats my predicament.
1/23 - meso 2 micro 1 day 1
5th set weights reset to 80%. I wasnt sure what to do with the MSM movement, so i backed it down to microcycle 4's weights and will start working back up from there. Kept the iso movements on the same progression from the final microcycle.

•meant to hit 2x15 standing calf raises - im gonna try to do 2 sets every session instead of 5 sets after squats and deads only. I get debilitating DOMS when I overdo calves to the point where i bîtch out and just skip it, so im hoping backing down volume and upping freq will allow for me to add a little mass down there without them being sore for 5 days (literally, ive had calf doms for a week before).
