Thanks, everyone. Austin, congrats on the recent meet results btw. Very nice total, especially at 192.
Sean, I just hope my mom doesn't read it. I wrote parts of it in a cafe that overlooks sidewalks full of scantily clad young women. I guess my distraction sort of worked its way into the article.

6/27
Press 215x5, called it due to some nagging pains and strains exacerbated by yesterday's deadlifts.
Tried some db rows, didn't work either.
Did some db holds for time to work grip.
--Should have stayed home today. No training til Tuesday, and that's an order.

Paying for it today, Adam.

--I need some time off. The meet I had planned for this month was cancelled, so I'm doing one on August 8 in Paducah.
