Day n°52
DEADLIFT 162.5
CURL Left : 27.5 / Right : 26.5
FLOOR PRESS Left : 41.5 / Right : 41.5

a few changes :

1) I do Conventional Deadlift. I had a fear of conventional DL since years. I think I didn't do Conventional since 2004-2005... but it feels SO GOOOOOD compared to Sumo. I love it ! I did it with a STRAIGHT BACK no more rounded back for me ! I'm at least 10kg stronger compared to sumo.

2) I had to go lighter on the Floor Press for the Left Arm too. The reason is simple : I used to Press everyday and I had a sort of "Neural Boost", when I switched to 1/4 days I lost 5% of strength. It already happended in 2008 but I didn't understand. So now Right Arm is trained 1/2 days and Left Arm is trained 1/4 days. On Curl same thing but the 1/4 frequency Arm didn't lose strength. I think this "neural boost" has only an effect on compounds lifts.

I'll test my 1RM in 2 weeks on the Curl and Floor Press to see if there are differences between the arms. So far it seems there is no difference. The frequency 1/4 days seems optimal but it's too soon to be sure...

------

I'm very happy with the conventional, I'm not as strong as I'm with a Rounded back, but if I rounded my back on conventional I could probably pull more than 185kg, my last PR.
