Today, I felt a little sluggish, but ended up pr'ing nonetheless. My bodyweight has been hanging right around 201.5 in the am. I felt really slow, but strong today--I just kinda drug through and didn't have the intensity that I had last week. I ended up working to a 565 pull off of 2" blocks, and seeing as just three weeks ago I worked up to an rpe 10 550 off of 4" blocks, I'm quite pleased with the progress. A range of motion pr + weight pr combined is awesome.
I'm continuing working on adapting the cube method for me to use no percents at all. I've been lifting totally based around an rpe scale, similar to what reactive training systems use, and my numbers for all three lifts have been moving very well. I expect some decent competition style pr's at the end of this cycle
My high bar squats have been progressing well, too. I haven't been pushing the weight hard, but rather I've been increasing reps, then hitting that same weight all paused reps, then lowering the reps and increasing the weight, working back up to higher reps, and progressing so forth.

I worked on some conventional deadlifts today too. I definitely have trouble getting into position and rounding my lower back. I don't know if it is just because I'm not used to the movement or if it is a hamstring flexibility issue or what. All I know is that my erectors are fried
