A little rushed for time to day as I had an appointment to make. Didn't quite get everything done but may come back tonight to finish.

Comp Squat - For some reason my squat was a little off today. Felt harder than it should have...
425-1@8.5 1st Attached video
385-4@9, 4@8, 4@9, 4@9 - RPE was supposed to be 8 but only the second set met that criteria. 2nd attached video -





Comp Bench
330-1@8 - Squat felt heavy but 330 bench felt good and went fast
305-3@8, 3@8, 3@8

Close grip incline bench - Never got done. will possibly do tonight.

Getting plenty of sleep has become critical for me.

Getting plenty of sleep has become critical for me.

It seems as you get older you don't sleep as well. I usually wake up a few times in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. Last night it cooled off here and I seem to sleep better when it's cool. Too bad my wife only let's me crack the window open a tiny bit as she always complains of being cold.
