Tried a few squats today but have been hungry all evening and didn’t feel full of power. Then tried bench and the left shoulder felt just a little off so I’ll skip today and rest / eat

Squats
WU(15,55,75,85)
90x4
95x4
100x4
90x4
Worked up to a 4RM at RPE 8.5 / 9, then dropped 10% and did 4s until I felt like RPE 9 again (which was one set this time). A little test to see how this sort of training could work for me. I’m not in great shape energy wise today so this sort of self regulation seems like a good fit for me with all the cycling I do.
OHP
WU(15,25,35)
40x4
42.5x4
45x4
40x4x4 (60s rest only)
Same idea. Worked on pushing the bar behind my head as it goes up and felt it more in my lats than usual.
Conditioning finisher
21-15-9
BOR @ 45, 24kg KB swings, BW lunges (reps on each leg)
BOR broke down a bit but that was 6 minutes of sweating
