I don't know if it's from a song, or just an old saying, but, to paraphrase:

"You've got to,
Accen-tuate, the positive,
[Acknow-ledge], the negative..."

The full results from the Fall Classic came out so I will take the time to go through them for as much positive as I can find, and SOME of the negative I need to acknowledge, such as:

How much did each lift increase?
How much did my total increase?
How much did my Wilks (and Wilks * McCullochs) increase?
How many men did I outlift that are the same age or younger? (Individual lifts, total, Wilks, Wilks*McCullochs)

Gym 1100

SQ: 170x5x3. After my second set, a gym acquaintance pointed out that I descended lower on my right side than my left. Not surprising, since my son pointed out an asymmetry on my LBBS rack a few weeks ago. Plus, I've had a couple surgeries on my right knee. Regardless, I thought about symmetry on my third set, which correlated with it feeling the best of all 3 (I'm aware I'm not squatting heavy yet).

BP: 150x5x3

DL: 300x4+F. Might have been x3+F. I did try to grind on the failed rep, but only got it a few inches off the ground. I'm guessing the light squatting is detraining my DL, too. I'll continue to add 5 pounds but move to triples and then a 5 rep backoff set.

Gym 0800

SQ: 175x5x3. I have been resting 3 minutes between my last warmup and first workset. Next time I will bump it up to 5. I will stick with 5 minutes rest between worksets.

P 2.0: 115x2+F, 104x3x2. Well, at least I grinded at my forehead for a few seconds on the failed rep. I might consider alternating regular P workouts, with a 10% deload, with pin presses. After regular P workouts, I might also consider a couple sets of Press Starts.

Chins: BWx5+F chest to bar. On the failed rep, I got my chin over the bar, but didn't get my chest to the bar. I think chins are best done at home.

Hammer curls: 10, 10, 8

Ugh. I was in town for a very late meeting so I wanted to take advantage of training in the gym on a weeknight, instead of 0530. But it took me over an hour to go 15 miles in rush hour traffic. Given the meeting, all I had for "dinner" was a Clif Bar.
