For bench earlier this morning, I got the first set out okay. The last rep was a struggle. I only got 3/5 on the second set. I then deloaded by 10 lbs and got 6 reps on the AMRAP set, although that was a struggle too.

I’ve been doing my push-up frequency homework all week (5x10), and plan to go through today and tomorrow as well. Those have become much easier.

Any thoughts as to how much I should deload by next week? Maybe drop it down 5 lbs than my workout weight today?

Also, I did 3 x10 of the neutral grip lat pulldowns. Hopefully this helps my chin-ups next week.

I would drop 15%. You cannot start too low on this. It’s a slow progression. You gotta get your ego in check. If you can only bench 95lbs that’s fine don’t let that bother you. Get stronger every day.

I would find a weight you can do an AMRAP to 10-12 on and re-baseline off of that.

25-30%, start low, hit the amrap set hard and slowly progress.
