Video: https://www.zeolla.org/Fitness/powerlifting/videos/post-videos/2026/q3/week-34/8-17-26_rc-rotate-up-front.mp4 This was the first time I did Deficit DLs I quite a while. And with my adductor, I thought it best to start here with just a 1 board (3/4”) deficit. It felt good, but I am not sure if I will keep the same weights but use a 2 boards (1-1/2”) deficit next time or increase the weights and stick with the 1 board deficit for a while. 8-19, W: Close Grip Decline Benches: 115/6, 120/4, 127.5/2.

Very tired for this workout after a very rough night. But this time it wasn’t anything external; it was my mind not being able to calm down. But I am still not working really hard on Declines, so I managed to get through this workout as planned. 8-20, Th: Chain Squats: 235/6, 247.5/4, 260/2.

On the way home I stopped by Target to pick up a large order. At that point, my car was full with bags and coolers in the trunk, the back seat, and the passenger side of the front seat. Then I had all of that to put away when I got home. Then I had a medical appointment in the afternoon. After all of that, I was too tired to do even this simple rehab exercise. Glad I wasn’t planning on a full workout. But I’ll get back to this rehab exercise next week. #Powerlifting #Powerlifts #Squats #Benches #Deadlifts #StrengthTraining
