Really happy I took the extra active rest day. Hit posterior chain hard this morning:

Trap Bar Deadlift:
Set 1: 360 lbs x 5 reps
Set 2: 360 lbs x 8 reps
Set 3: 315 lbs x 6 reps

Seated Leg Curls:
Set 1: 140 lbs x 11 reps
Set 2: 140 lbs x 8 reps

Hip Thrusts:

Set 2: 185 lbs x 9 reps

Calf Raises:
Set 1: 460 lbs x 12 reps
Set 2: 460 lbs x 10 reps

Prone Single-Leg Curls:
Set 1: 75 lbs x 10 reps/side
Set 2: 70 lbs x 10 reps/side

Walking Lunges:
Set 1: 27.5 lbs/hand x 55 ft × 2
Set 2: 27.5 lbs/hand x 55 ft × 2

Dead Hangs:
Set 1: 1 min 20 sec
Set 2: 42 sec

My grip felt a little off during the first set of trap bar deadlifts, but I got it sorted out for the second set and the weight moved much better.

It’s hard to believe I’m only 9 days out now.

At this point, the training is really about maintaining what I’ve built. The biggest focus over the next week is posing. The work is done—now it’s about presenting it as well as I can.

Upper body tomorrow.
