New grippers just came in, filling some gaps In the collection. Good timing, next session is on Sunday. will get to work on the 118 right away, will be aiming for sets of 6-8 parallel to finish off my 8 rep block next couple weeks and then I’ll move on to 4-6 rep range 

Awesome! Great new grippers, I didn’t even know they have a Star Wars collab. The mixed colour handles are pretty rad

Volume Bending Day (and for once an update on the actual day it took place🤣) Warmed up with some light E/F/G/H x 7” drill rod in sbr cordura and then onto 4 red nails (1 in sbr cordura only and 3 with leather over them) followed by 4 shinys (1 in sbr cordura and 3 with leather over them) and finished with two 6” hex from McMaster in sbr cordura and leather doubles. Was a good session overall even though was the the cordura singles volume a little lower than I’d like due aime skin tears. I’m wearinf four hydrocolloid bandages right now, but I’m only really worried about one of them right now, here’s hoping it’ll be all healed up stat!!!  

This is mostly a warmup for the arms and chest to get the blood pumping. I was using 15kg dumbbells for 75 reps. Then I proceed usually to like 26 kg weights for around 3 sets of 25. Then to 30 kg or 33 kg for maybe 10 to 12 reps of 3 sets. That's a full workout but yesterday I quit prematurely because the strength was not all there. Lately though I've added 37 kg dumbbell bench for up to 7 reps 3 sets. I might change the initial 15 kg sets and just start with 26 kg weights. Keep in mind when I first started I only did 10 kg and 15kg bench sets for several months because I didn't have any other weights so it became a habit. At that period I would do like 1000 reps of 10 kg bench total. 

As others have stated, you'll want to track your weight over a period of multiple weeks or even indefinitely, in tandem with macro / calorie tracking, in order to determine what your weight fluctuation actually means. One day's weight measurement isn't a meaningful result. I personally weigh myself at the same time every morning for consistency (first thing out of bed, in a fasted state), and keep a record of the daily result, calculating the 7-day average each week. I aim for around 1 lb per week (using the week's average) weight loss / gain during a cut / bulk respectively, as a general guideline - and make adjustments to the diet and training from there based on what my goals are.
