• Undershot squat 5x9 (i guess due to illness last week/weekend) but not by much, maybe 8.5? It wasn't hard enough...
• 1st set of squat backoffs I wasn't tight enough at all, much better 2nd set - these seemed harder than they should, really should have been 158 or so.
• Intentionally undershot press backoffs as a precaution; I do them all from a stop now, no more stretch reflex, I'm afraid it'll hurt my shoulder - which still has pain sometimes, but it is what it is, I'll take what I can get, best pressing since before I hurt my shoulder, so I was happy with this.
• Probably need to go up next time on CGBP

10_27_18 Saturday on three hours of sleep, because, RED SOCKS! <3 <3 <3 Mookie. I wonder if the left coast knows Dodgers are a ny tea... Intrepid today because I figured if I can't do it, 3 hours of sleep. Accidentally did two squat down sets s/b one. Oops.
My acquaintance said my 4@9 bench looked easy, prob.need to go up on 7 & 8. wuss. I need a nap before a party this evening.

10_30_18 Tuesday left work: migraine. Probably from dr messing w/BP meds. She said as low as you can get it is what it should be. ?? Tried to train after resting, w/just a headache, cut the 4th of down sets for squat/press, felt better by sessions end. Much better today. Turned out I was right about the squat 5@9. Even 175 seemed much easier than I remember? Can that be possible? Yet the down sets sucked and I knew they were ugly.

• Low back pretty torched + extra down sets this week, so lowered 1@8 & 5@9 - pretty difficult to keep my back tight. Back felt MUCH better after; my SO's worker had a wheelbarrow full of somebody's chimney when I got home, joking, said pull that around back and dump it - couldn't believe I did it, said thats a few hundred #. wth? Real women deadlift? (its still my least fave lift).
• Bench (& press!), shoulders seem to be more tolerant
• Pause squats are still burny torcher [ ;-) ] Sadly need to go up on these next time – I can breathe when I'm dead. or not.

11_3_18 Saturday 3 hrs sleep, wasn't pretty. Kind of depressed. One dog decided she's afraid of rain so wailed all night. The other one is dying, need to take her to be put down this afternoon. 15.6yo lab, my last dog friend (the other dog I brought, but my husband stole - she thinks she's his wife). S/b 147 for squat downsets, I just was too tired, but stubborn enough to keep my weight the same for the others. 2ct bench seems to be getting easier? Press, all strict dead stop (im sure the gymmates were thrilled, the fatter older lady is going even slower, ha!)

Thank you Charlo. She passed away with her head in my lap. It was for the best, she'd had a great life, and had been such a feisty bully up til a year or so ago....It would have been cruel to let her go on.
