    Squat.......210 felt really good. Slight grind only on reps 5 of the 2nd and 3rd set
    Press ........110 also felt good. No grind. I'm surprised.
    DL ..............250 workset. Felt ok but heavy
    DL ..............315 single PR. pretty much a max effort on this one. Stupid belt popped off during lift
    Chins...........2.5/2.5/1.5. finally can get my chin above the bar and no swinging.
    Had extra time today so decided to do some accessory stuff.
    Reverse grip cable pulldowns. 3 sets ramped up to 150
    Curls..........#30x12 #40x12 #50x10
    Have not done 1 curl since beginning my training. Probably do them more often when I get extra time at gym. Gotta fit in with the bros lol.

    Some notes....
    I have decided to stop updating macros in this log but am still tracking in my paper macro log.
    p/c/f/cal goals are 200/200/130/3000.

    BW 207..........215 @9 weeks of training
    waist size measured at naval 44". Think when I started 45". Little foggy about that though.
    pant size 36-38 depending on brand cut ECT.

    If anybody reading this any thoughts on those macros?
    can't post in jordans forum yet.

    Squat......255
    Bench......175
    Row.........150
    Dips 8/5/4
    Curls 40/50/60 reps 10/10/8

    Will be ditching rows for power cleans
    Elbows don't agree with the rows anymore.
    Plus I just don't like rows. Never have.

    squat....260

    press....125......2/4/2 repeat weight next time

    DL.........285x1
    . 320x1 (pr)
    . 330x1 not sure if I locked out

    todays session horseshit. Getting a cold feel like shit
    not enough sleep lately didn't eat much today at all. Have
    under ate all week I think. Hemorrhoid.
    I still took my ass in even though I didn't wanna.
    set a pr single on DL so that's one good thing about today.
    didn't have the energy to do my DL workset.

    gonna consider this just a bad day. I hate getting sick.
