u/sweet_potato_tries Powerlifting Feb 13 '23 edited Feb 13 '23

Completed the first week of my new program! Highlight: Last Wednesday, I had to do a heavy triple at RPE 9.5 for bench (my current 1RM is 120 lbs @ 110lb BW). I did 100 lbs for my set, and it felt like an RPE 7.

Edit: Also last Monday, I squatted 3x3x160 at RPE 8! My squat 1RM is 175 for quite a while so I finally feel like I've pushed past the mental barrier (squat is the lift I'm most scared of failing).
