Embracing rep PRs of late on all my big lifts, working off percentages of last tested 1RM either 70-75% immediately after the max or, as in this case, 75-80% just within a month of that test. Here is ~78% #closeGripBench for 185x2x8.

A couple of pure hinging motions I've lately taken up using a zercher method, possibly of my own design, though I doubt I'm the first. First, my own #rackExtensions (similar to 45° #backExtensions), now #zercherRackExtensions, then the same technique applied to #seatedGoodMornings.

Nothing closer to my heart than a good cup of "Excessively high settings of this parameter may cause the output to be distorted."

From the microkorg manual under Delay Depth, a warning: "Excessively high settings of this parameter may cause the output to be distorted"

Trying a different kind of rings #tricepsIsolation that I call #crossBodyRingExtensions, which is kind of a mouthful. The bottom arm can't contribute much, if anything except stabilization, so it's performed unilaterally and surprisingly difficult, so scaleable. Also took up #ringFlys again.

#MaxEffort #BTNpress for 95, 105, and the 110 salvage match after two failures of 115. Looking like I'll have to micro-load going forward. Then backdowns of 80x12 and 11 reps, which is progress, at least.

Today's "pull" session with #pelicanCurls and #ringPullArounds after two sternum ring pullup PRs of BW+90 single and BW+25x11 with a BWx15 match to cap it off. Also finished with bilateral inverted rows.

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 27/08/2026

Yesterday's "upper" session with #seatedPress here for 100x2x9 then #tricepsIsolation with decline ring #tricepsExtensions and decline #ringPushDowns. Also finished with L-sit dips, not shown.

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 22/08/2026

#LSitDips here for BW+40x2x10. These have been progressing nicely and maintain a good forward tilt on the torso even as the weight goes up, avoiding the dynamism typical of keeping the legs under or behind the hips (taking strain off the lower chest, whereas that's where I'm trying to keep it).

With the generally higher level of physical exhaustion this summer, I've set aside my various barbell curls and their corresponding max effort work in favor of more advanced bodyweight curls. Here, I'm performing decline #clutchCurls for BWx2x8.

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 22/08/2026

#MaxEffort #LarsenDeadBench for 205, 215, and a failure to lock 230 followed by a second fail at the same weight. Not too surprising due to my job slinging sheet metal in a hot factory all summer and an unintentional cut. Pulled out the stops on backdowns though and PRed 160x10 and 11 reps.

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 04/07/2026

#deadPreachers here for a 95x12 PR and then 11. Was a mistake doing that first set in shorts, painful on the leg hair.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 04/07/2026

#MaxEffort #JMpress for 185, 195, and the 205 PR. Then backdowns for the 155x8 PR and then 7.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 23/06/2026

Yesterday's #MaxEffort #strictCurls for 85, 95, and 105 (will go for the 110 PR next time). Then it was a backdow 75x9 PR and then 8.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 23/06/2026

Yesterday's #MaxEffort #LarsenDeadBench for 205, 215, a 230 miss, and a 225 salvage. Then backdowns of 170x2x5.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 19/06/2026

#deadPreachers PR for the Rooster at 95x11 but none for the Human Cannonball a 95x9. This is after a BW+60x8 pullup PR with a BW+35x13 backdown.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 31/05/2026

My #MaxEffort #deadPreachers are back up to where they were before the golfer's elbow crept up (it's cleared up for a while now). Here, 95, 110, and an easy 120 match. Then backdowns of 90x11 and 12 reps.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 25/05/2026

#MaxEffort #seatedPress here for 115, 135, and an easy 145 match for my best, probably easier than any top single on this in a long time, if ever. Still couldn't get the 150 PR after, but I think it's a lock for next time. Then it was 110x2x5 backdowns.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 21/05/2026

#strictCurls here for the 80x8 PR, which is a match for for my previous best at 75, and then 7 reps.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 12/05/2026

#HackenschmidtSquats here for a 65x11 PR and then 10. I followed these up with 10 and 8 reps of Nordic curls (unsupported and at the same incline I've posted previously) and reverse Nordics for BW+10x16 and 14 reps.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 09/05/2026

#MaxEffort #strictCurls here for 85, 95, failure at 110 and 105 with a successful salvage at 100. Then it was an 85x8 PR and then 7. Not too anxious about my singles being about 60% of world record weight. Then it was front pulls after the dips, which ain't doing anything to alleviate my VLS.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 09/05/2026

#MaxEffort #closeGripBench for 215, 225, and 240 with an attempt to match my best of 245 after, but I just wanted to touch base at 240 since it had been a while. Then backdowns of 180x2x5. After curls, it's #LSitDips for BW+10x14 and 15 rep PRs. Really loving these for keeping ring dips in the pecs

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 07/05/2026

#MaxEffort #deadlift here for 395, 415, and the 440 PR, albeit with a little hitch at lockout, which is unusual for me. Then it was backdowns of 325x5.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 30/04/2026

#MaxEffort #JMpress here for 165, 185, and the 200 PR. Then backdowns of 160x2x5, also a PR.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 20/04/2026

#MaxEffort #strictCurls for 85, 95, and the 107.5 PR. Microloading was a good call here. Then it was 85x5 and 4 reps for the backdowns.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 20/04/2026

Probably would have done well to microload this #MaxEffort #LarsenDeadBench here for 205, 215, and a failed 230, but much closer to lockout than last time I attempted that weight. Then it was backdowns of 170x2x5.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 18/04/2026

#MaxEffort #pinSquats now back up to my best for 295, 315, and the 330 which, while still grindy, was prettier. Also no petellar tendon distress like what I had last month at 325 (which quickly turned out somehow therapeutic in spite of that distress). Then it was backdowns of 265x2x5.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 15/04/2026

Some ring-loaded overhead #tricepsExtensions here for 55x2x9, which isn't a PR, but is my best overall effort. Then I started doing #LSitDips, which aren't so much for the sake of the L-sit component (maintained best with Bulgarian elbow flare) so much as the Gironda-style forward torso lean.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 15/04/2026

Top-down #MaxEffort #ringHSPU here at a 2" deficit for BW, BW+5, and then the BW+15 PR managed handily. Secret weapon today was warming up with pin presses from eyebrow level. Then it was backdowns at a 1" advantage for BWx6 and then 5. Won't be able to do backdowns at a good deficit until BW+45x1.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 10/04/2026

Rep effort here on #deadPreachers for the 105x8 PR and then 90x13 for no PR. No biggie on the latter, because I'll be stepping the top set up to 110 (for which any reps more than 1 will be PRs) and the backdown up to 95 to try and top my best effort of 10 reps. Then it was #deadPilgrims for 55x6.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 02/04/2026

Again, no nominal progress on the #MaxEffort #seatedPress, and while I do think it's fair to claim some qualitative progress, I probably should have microloaded. At least I got the 140 salvage rep after failing 145 twice. Then after the 105x2x5 backdowns, I managed a backoff #BTNpress for 85x10.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 28/03/2026

Back to #MaxEffort #strictCurls, here for a 95 PR and a 105 PR. Then it was backdowns of 80x7 for the PR and then 6.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 28/03/2026

PRs forever and forever, a hundred years PRs here on this #MaxEffort #JMpress to pins, here for 170, 180, a 190 PR, and then a 195 PR. Then backdowns of 155x6 for the PR and then 5.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 27/03/2026

Some tough work on #MaxEffort #snatchGripDeadlift, here for 355, and then accidentally loading 10lb extra for 380 and the 400 grinder of a 15lb PR. Then a backdown of the intended 310x5, which felt pretty tough, but unsurprisingly after reviewing the video and realizing I overloaded the singles

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 12/03/2026

Progress finally on this #MaxEffort #BTNpress, though hard-won. I failed three times to get that 112.5 PR but somehow managed on the fourth after donning a belt. Part of my trouble was my right side lagging again, but bringing up the pins last time seemed to help, so fixable. 90x7,6 backdowns.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 09/03/2026

Finally back to progressing on #MaxEffort #HackenschmidtSquats, here for 75, 85, and the 92.5 PR, which seemed easy enough, but I still couldn't quite manage 95 after that. Then it was 70x2x9 backdowns, which matches my best set from December, but twice in this case.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 09/03/2026

Saturday's #MaxEffort #LarsenDeadBench for 205, 215, and the 225 only matching my best, but I feel better about resuming progression. Then 180x2x5 backdown, a 145x8 #JMpress PR any which way (they're all PRs as of last month), and finally, ascending #strictCurls up to the 90x5 PR.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 01/03/2026

Yesterday's #MaxEffort #ZercherSquats for 275, 285, and the 300 PR. Then 235x2x5 backdowns. My second session ever with Zercher squats.

100

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 24/02/2026

#MaxEffort #Deadlift but only matching my best of 435 since it's been so long. It moved easily enough I probably could have managed at least 440, and I did try to follow up with an attempt, but no dice. Should go next time though, just had to touch base before moving on.

200

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 21/02/2026

#MaxEffort #ringHSPU here. Still can't do this depth from the bottom up, but I did manage to add another 5lb (BW+10) going from top down. I also decided to start making sure to bring each backdown rep to a dead-stop, which did knock down the reps quite a bit but should help the dead single along.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 15/02/2026

#MaxEffort #snatchGripDeadlift for 345, 365, and the 385 PR. That's 20lb worth in two months. Then it was a 305x5 backdown.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 13/02/2026

#MaxEffort #deadPreachers for the 105x6 PR and 90x12 for no PR. Then a little demo of a unilateral row variation I cooked up, basically just a #ringPullAround, performed for 10 on both sides. This was all after pullup PRs for BW+60x6 and BW+35x13.

000

𝖍𝖚𝖒𝖆𝖓𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑 @rmblrx.mooonside.com · 12/02/2026

No PRs on the #MaxEffort #seatedPress but plenty of discernible progress, I think. Even recovered the misgroove at 140 pretty well. Backed down with submax 5s and backed off with a #BTNpress AMRAP.
