I have had a weird last few days. Nothing has happened but I am feeling a little off. I am not quite sure what I'm feeling or why I am feeling it. To rectify my maylay of thoughts I decided that I needed to pull heavy. I was supposed to restart my rdls this week and go 635, 675, 710 over the next 3 weeks. Last mini cycle I went triples for 515, 575, 615, 650.
The goal for my off season was to do triples each week and go for a all time rdl pr after 8 weeks. I hit the gym today and decided I needed to make a mid plan break and go pick up something heavy and feel strong. I opted to work up to a single off the floor.

this felt good. I mean really good. I haven't had 700 in my hands for months. I was glad that it moved fast. It's funny as I haven't pulled off the floor since October nor have I squatted in a month. Rest is so key for me. This workout was a reminder for me that I'm getting older and space in between intensity is a key for my success.
Parched back pause gms. I paused 3 seconds at the bottom of each rep.
135 for 3 sets of 8.
Done.
I went home and played my bass with the amp cranked up before the wife and kids came home.
