Hi There
First time Posting here and first Workout of Reactive Training.

Fealt a bit gross today as I am just getting over a Gastro Bug.
I have not been training very much for the last two weeks. Time to dig in and put on the foil.

Accumulation Block
Week 1...Session 1


Reverse Band Squat (doubled mini) - no belt
- x4 \ 3% \ 8-9 rpe
- have never performed this exercise before so I am establishing a baseline
460 x4 @8
480 x4 @8.5
490 x4 @9
465 x4 @9 (this is my 3% Weight)
Time: 15 Min

3ct Pause Bench - middle finger on ring
- x4 \ 3% \ 8-9 rpe
- have never performed this exercise before so I am establishing a baseline
- I made the mistake of overestimating my strength on 3 second pause bench and ended up working too heavy and screwing up my RPE#'s
-  I should have went by feal to work to my rpe's instead of trying to estimate my max. I figure I have overestimated my max by about 20 lbs
280 x4 @8
290 x4 @10 (should have used a weight to make this an 8 or 9)
275 x4 @ 10 (should have used a weight to make this an 8 or 9)
265 x4 @ 10 (I believe this should really have been my 3% weight if I had initially estimated properly)
Time: 17 Min

RDL - no belt, used straps
- x8 \ 3% \ 8-9 rpe
- I found this was some nice smooth and healthy work for lower back
- Worked the whole time at my 3% weight
365 x8 @8 (this is my 3% Weight)
365 x8 @8 (this is my 3% Weight)
365 x8 @9 (this is my 3% Weight)
Time: 11 Min

Total Training time:88 Min
