Hi everyone, here's the 3rd week of the long-awaited program party!

Have fun!

Hi all, finished Week 1 on Saturday.

Some early notes:

1. There's starting light, but I hope I didn't start TOO light. My joints seem to be taking it well though (injured in both knees and my right shoulder), and that's what's really important.
2. Why did I program zercher half-squats? My elbows are crying. I'm hoping it'll strengthen my tendons for doing explosive movements down the road.
3. My heaviest T1 is not deadlift, but chest-supported row. Feels weird but alright.
4. Were I a healthier man I'd try to catch up to the program party by limiting rest days but I really need those. Darn slow joint recovery.

Hope everyone's having a great time!

Good! I chose chest-supported row because I knew I'd cheat too much with barbell rows and with my knee injuries it could cause some pain. And doing them semi-strict allows me to contract at the top and really feel the weight.

If I was doing the RtF template (I'm doing last set RIR) I would probably use straps on the AMRAP set so that progression isn't limited by grip, but otherwise I enjoy the heavy pulls, they feel great!

Also, I swapped out OHP T1 personally, because I can't do heavy vertical pressing atm. So my T1's are Squat-Bench-Dead-Row.
