Yeah depends a lot on the execution but when you are doing a controlled negative and pause at the bottom position it gets really damn heavy. Especially the older ones seem to be heavier

No mate! 3 plates on this one is already pretty heavy!

When I’m at a different gym I just try to go all out and enjoy my session without tracking it in my log book because there a different circumstances (different bars, dumbells, angles, machines,etc)! I just try to feel everything and have a great time and workout!

Rest day today! Weight was 82,4kg this morning and I’m feeling amazing today! Did 45min of cardio on the stationary bike this morning and took my dog for a little walk just for overall health reasons. I’m feeling much better when I start my day with some cardiovascular activity and I’m much more productive! Legs on the menu tomorrow!

Great push session today. Didn’t feel really good today but decided to train. And most of thectime those workouts are amazing. Managed a smith machine incline press 140kg x6 reps. 7 was my all time pb.

I would make sure your technique is on point first. Maybe film yourself from tge side. Try to see a good massage therapist.
I would say the rdl is an overall better choice for building muscle mass than a conventional deadlift which i see more as a strength and powerbuilder.
But do what fits your biomachnics. The most important thing is that you perform a hip hinge movement with a weight in your arms.
-
Are you still progressing other lifts and just maxed out the rdl? Than it’s absolutely ok to switch!
In general I would advise to keep the same exercises during a diet because I truly believe what builds the muscle also keeps the muscle! Try to hold on to your strength levels as good as possible!

Rest day today! Switched from 300mg test prop a week to 250mg test e every 7 days! Can’t wait to get my blood work done and see how my body has recovered! Maybe I’m going swimming with my little boy later in the afternoon! Tomorrow is pull on the menu!
Next 2 weeks are going to be pretty busy because I’m a politican and we have communal elections here in Lower Austria!

Don’t worry about one bad workout. There are many things that come into play. If you have many bad workouts in a row I would defintely do a deload but I wouldn’t be bothered by just one bad session or exercise!
-
Yes like the others said I would shoot for a 10-15 rep range in your backoff set!
-
Are all other exercises still improving? Are you in a caloric surplus? Maybe you just need to step up a little with your calories? When did you do your last deload? Maybe you just need a break!

Shoulders and tris today! Banged out a new pb at smith machine military press today! 127,5kg x 7 and 100kg x 14 reps today! felt amazing! Especially pressing strength is improving every workout!

Fantastic leg session today. Back to very low volume. Just one working set today at the leg press and v squat but they where spot on. At the leg press i did a cluster set which really beat the hell out of me.

Yes! Exactly like Kuba said!
MPS Max or EAA’S
plus
Sustain or Performance FuelI personally like to put a little more carbs in e.g. for my leg sessions and a little less for my push sessions depending on what I’m doing and how taxing the workout is!
