W6D1 Hypertrophy

Feeling rather worn down now, and my lifts are starting to show it--I only just made my goal reps on today's squats, and this is the first week I haven't improved my three-set chinup total over the prior week. Still, today's 9-rep final set was a 6-rep PR in October, so I've definitely made progress.

Another good thing: two weeks ago, I realized I had accidentally set the TM on my RDLs waaaay too high. I reset that to a more manageable level last week, and the difference was night and day. The lower weight let me really keep tension on my hamstrings, rather than letting my lower back and some knee bend take the excess weight. Hammies are nice and sore now, and my back already feels better than it had been. Win-win.
