    Didn't sleep much again last night, and my right knee was bugging me some today, and my quads felt kinda 'dead.' Also, my shins felt bruised, although no visible signs. I probably just haven't recovered properly due to eating and sleeping deficiencies over the past 4 days or so, so was just feeling overall a bit beat. Still hit my planned squats, just felt heavier than otherwise would have. The shins issue led me to pull back on my power cleans, however.

    Squat
    427x5x3
    Notes
    : Harder than they'd normally have been, but not bad. Rested about 5 mins between 1st and second set, upped to about 7 before the third set.

    Vid:

    Power Clean
    45x6, 89x4, 133x2, 155x2, 177x2, 199x1+1, 221x1+1
    Clean Pull
    265x3
    Notes: My shins, especially left one, felt all bruised and battered, so it was hard to drag the bar up my legs as usual. As a result, I just ended things early here. Still ramping back up, no big deal. Planning on 515x5 DL on Friday.

    Sled Push
    20kg x 6
    Notes: Just easing back in here. 1st one was done at a jogging speed, second running, the next four sprinting. 20kg isn't much, but carpet attached to the sled bottom makes it a lot more resistance than it'd otherwise be. A decent amount of resistance to the sprint for the first time on the sled in almost a month.

    I think Monday's heavier-than-planned presses left me a bit tired still today. Pressing was tough and benching was a little harder than expected as well.

    Press
    223x5
    Notes
    : Last rep was a grind. I probably could have still grinded it out with 225x5, but I absolutely did not have another rep in the tank.



    Bench Press
    307x5, 315x5, 322x5, 320x5, 315x5
    Notes:
    Some of these were a little slower on reps 4 and 5 than I'd have liked, or than I expected, but pretty solid overall.

    DB Curlz

    Notes: Working the all important 'blast the bis' segment back in this week.

    You can't blast the bi's with one 1 set dude. Obviously I'm no expert, but from what I've seen from the brahs at the gym you need at least 5 sets. Did you mean to write 50x9x5 or something?

    I almost pushed this off till tomorrow. My neck/upper trap that I strained yesterday felt better today but still a little tweaky, and my lunch was sitting pretty heavy in my belly. Overall felt blah. Still, I sacked up and did the thing. As usual, glad I did.

    Squat
    438x5x3
    Notes
    : Felt pretty solid today. Not one of those 100% locked in awesome days, but better than Tuesday and solid overall.

    Deadlift
    515x5, 449x5
    Notes:
    Still having a bit of low back unlocking on some of the work set reps. Not awful, but just a little. I haven't watched bid yet, but felt super solid at 449.

    Sled
    30kg x 8,
    rest varied between 60-75s: 1 jog, 7 sprints
    Notes: Each roundtrip takes just under 15 seconds, so similar work:rest ratio to the 20:140s I was doing on the erg.

    Look man, are you serious about your guns or not? I know you've seen the video: you can't overtrain bi's. Get to it man!

    Too bad about your trap-- same area as before or higher? (you mentioned neck this time...) Feel better.

    Finally got around to watching this... thanks for posting Wolfy.
