Hypertrophy W3D4
Drained today after this workout. Gym was extra spicy this morning after the power outages yesterday evening; no fans, no music, no TV, no AC. Just weights clinking, heavy breathing, and people mumbling to themselves.
Squats and chin-ups today were almost an echo of Tuesday. They were heavy, form was decent, and I used a belt on the last 3 sets. Chin-ups went well. It has been a boost of confidence the last couple weeks now that I am doing these completely unassisted.
I was worried and cautious on the row/reverse lunge SS. Rows were fine all the way thru. Kept the same weight and decent form in all sets. For the reverse lunges I started with just bodyweight reverse lunges (stationary; as I normally do forward/backward walking lunges). Those went fine so I completed the remaining sets with DBs (slowly increasing the weight; 10, 15, 20). On the last set (with 20# DBs), I could barely feel the dull pain in my right thigh. So I think the rest over the weekend and starting slow today paid off. I'll take a similar approach next Friday. I'll start with 5/10 DB instead of BW and just slowly increase over the sets.

Hypertrophy W4D1
This program has definitely pushed me to the edge on pretty much a daily basis. Ready to get it finished Friday and reward myself with 2 weeks off (family vacation in Europe).
Bench, deadlift, and OHP were all tough today. I stopped 1 rep short on both bench and OHP. I might could've gotten the last rep on both, but confidence was too low for me to push it. I did hit all reps on deadlift. I had to sit and collect myself after that last set. Legs were twitchy while I was sitting, odd feeling.
The rest of the workout went fine. Got some good muscle burning, but hit everything as expected.
