Tuesday 3/1
Much better day today. Squatted a bit with TUBOW, then without. A couple of sets in my Converse, just to see. Do-Wins are so much better. Workout went like this: 185X5X2; 3x225, 3x245, 5x265. Here's the set of fahve:
Much improved, knee-slide wise. Felt good.
Then fucked around with power cleans, which was fun. Ended up with 5 x 3 x 105.

DL: 1 x 5 x 320 all went up quick.
Tuesday 3/8
No squats today--sharp pain distal to the knee cap, right under the surface, felt like something wanted to tear. Felt this right a parallel with no weight. So no squatting today. walking, etc. feels normal.
Bench: 5,5,4 x 222.5 PR for this weight/reps. Last set got sloppy.
Chins: 6,4,3, this with about 5 min betweeen sets.
BW: 205, no shoes.
Thursday 3/9
Press 3x3 x 130. Nice. Hit my goal. Thought I had to leave, so didn't attempt a 4th set or chins. I drank my PWO shake, then realized I was an hour ahead of myself. Dang. Chins tomorrow after DL.
Friday 3/11
DL 325 x 5 that was goal, quick and smooth
Sled: 1 lap with 2 plates; 3 with 2 plates + 25. Ick.
I had photodynamic therapy on my skin, so I was banished to the indoors for 48 hours, then I looked like a fall-out zombie. But back today:
Friday 3/18
Press 3's: 3,3,3 x 130 nice. No lost steps here.
DL: 1,F x 330, F x 315, 5 x 275. Shit. Well, some work is better than no work.
chins, weak-ass chins: 3,3,3
BW: 206 with shoes.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the light therapy for? And what type of wavelength is it that makes you look like you're out of The Walking Dead?
It's for treatment of sun damage, mainly to kill off acticnic keratoses and superficial cancers (mainly basal cell carcinomas). It starts with a treatment of levulonic (sp?) acid, which binds more readily to bad cells. Then the light source--near UV, 700-ish nm, I think--activates the acid in a particular way which kills the cells. This results in something very much like a bad sunburn, which almost immediately starts to peel. Some weeping and crusting, too. Since the levulon is active for 48 hours, I had to stay indoors, shades drawn, and out of any direct source of light for that period.
Today, after one week, I look like I have a mild tan or sunburn. I don't tan, so probably the latter. And the reason for all the damage.
Monday 3/21
Bench: 3 x 5 x 220 Happy with these, having missed a week

Tuesday 3/22
