PIP1 Week 1 Saturday
Sleep: 8hrs
Caffeine: 150mg
Loud Music: Linkin Park

Squat
45xlots
135lbsx3
185lbsx2
225lbsx2
275lbsx1
315lbsx1 Add Belt
PR 365lbsx1@9 e1RM ~380lbs

Notes: 275lbs felt like 135lbs. 315lbs didn't slow down. Could've doubled 365lbs and it wouldn't have been all out but it would've been close. Volume Day won't be heavy for a while so I can get away with this for now haha. I have video and will upload it when I can.

45xlots

290lbsxF

Notes: Volume Day is still light so I can get away with this. Did this workout less than an hour after I woke up. I noticed it. If I had done this a little later, I might've gotten 290lbs. The descent seemed easy, but then it got stuck about 4-6' off my chest. Fuck. Didn't have a spotter either, good thing I know how to get out from under a bar.

Notes: So I was warming up the Squat and I had an experienced Olympic lifter watching me. He told me my chest was caving. By the time we were done my chest stayed up no problem. But I didn't work up to heavy weights. Bench was supposed to be 240lbs. Oops, 240lbs next time. Could feel that I wasn't recovered for Deadlifts.

Going to Squat and Deadlift heavy today (Saturday)
