I think we both need redemption on the platform.

Don't remind me.

I was looking forward to adding about 40 kilos to my total at the end of the month.

Fuck.

I'm starting to increase the weight now. I am pretty sure I should be using bands or chains, or maybe even pausing in the hole. There is too much pop at the top; I am worried about whether I am maintaining my tightness, although not terribly worried because I am only doing 2 reps at a time.

Deadlift 455x3x1
Failed the set of five. The fourth rep only came a couple inches off the floor. I blame the mono. I will now be doing 3 reps every week, because that is what Texas Method people do when they stall.

Training time: 1:4
Wow, that was brief

276.2 pounds
The mono practically didn't take any weight off of me!

Didn't we agree that if you were working up to a heavy single that you would give yourself more than one chance if you missed? Like the 170 snatch. If you had to wait around in the set up, then dude, JUST DO IT AGAIN.

You are hereby ordered to be careful and not to do anything stupid.

I definitely want to do this work-out with jerks from the rack. I'll do it with C&Js eventually

Squatx5x3 failure
340x5,3,5 I thought these wouldn't be obnoxious because I have a belt this week and my mono has subsided a lot. I was wrong.

Press 147.5x5x3

Chins BWx7,4,4
-My weight is down from last weight, so you would think that my chin reps wouldn't go down, but they did. It was mental. I was in such a negative place.

Training Time: 2:20
