Week 2 Bridging Block
M - Squat, technique practice – 6x5 @ 160Lbs RPE 5| Bench, technique practice – 6x6 @ 165lbs RPE 5 | 1” conventional deadlift 6x5 @ 395 for RPE 6 | 3x 15 Ez bar curls
T – Wide Grip Bench 6x5 @ 215 RPE 6.5 | Front Squat 3x8 @ 175 RPE 5 | Step ups, chins ups, overhead db & Abwheel supersets
F – 1” conventional deadlift 5x6 @ 395 for RPE 6 | Pause Bench 7X4 @ 215 RPE 6.5 | Churls, chin ups, split squat, farmers walk.
Sat - Pause bench 6x6 @ 210 for RPE 7 | Front Squat 3x10 @ 140 RPE 5 | Chin ups , curls , overhead DB extension.
Note: RPE 5 means warm up weight, it could be I have significantly more than 5 more reps in the tank its just the lowest RPE ill use. Squats have all been kept very light due to knee bursities which is a historic issue for me, but I am actively trying to stretch and relieve the tight IT band causing the issue while doing light squats. I don't expect to do any squats over 350Lbs in the first 8 weeks.
That concludes the two-week bridging block. I'll do three weeks of hypertrophy or so and building up to a RPE 10 on the third week for a max effort set of 5 or so.
Investing Nothing notable. Personal savings Dec 31, 2020 462K. Personal savings Feb 8, 2021 511K. Consistent bi-weekly contributions + rebound in oil which is one of the two sectors I have noted I am trying to get above average gains from. REITS have been stagnant and if anything gone down further since Dec 31. I have no unrealized losses from REITS but they have performed below market average even with distributions reinvested and the point of picking on individual sectors is to try to beat the average market so while I have not lost money I have when you look at it from an opportunity cost perspective which is how I view all my investing (always compared to S&P average return).
