    I am doing front squats in place of back squats because I have stands, not a rack, and no spotter. I'm just not comfortable putting upwards of 300# on my back with no protection other than knowing I can dump my plates since they're bumpers. Weighted ring dips in place of bench because a) I like them more and b) I don't have a bench. Presses are all being done completely strict (no bounce at bottom.) I am backing off a bit on the weight this first week.

    5x5 deadlift @ 365#

    This was easy muscularly, but I was pretty fried from the last 2 days and I didn't sleep much last night. I did a 5x5 with 375# a couple months back. I can definitely handle a lot more.

    5x3 ring dip
    80#, 80#, 80#, 80#, 80# (2)

    Dunno what happened that last set, the first four were easy. Weird.

    Nothing left for metcon today.

    Skipped power cleans due to ankle injury (hurt it during those stupid burpees on Friday...last freakin' rep, too.)
    Front squat 5x5 @ 245#
    Press 5x3
    165# (2)
    160# (2)

    On the attempted 3rd rep at 160# I thought my head was going to pop, it hurt like hell and I got dizzy and nearly blacked out. Called it a day there.
