How detailed a review will you do?

[HandPlaneSteve]

Wow, massive score.

[Clay Simczyk]

It shipped an hour ago. I hope to get some use out of it before surgery.

How detailed a review will you do?

I'm typically bad about doing reviews, but I should have plenty of time coming up. I only have cheap bars to compare it to so I'm not sure how worthwhile my review will be.

Belt is still a notch tighter than it has been. Need another Thanksgiving - Baggins style. Bagginsgiving? Hobbitsgiving?

Squat:
320x1
320x5 (@9.5)
320x5 (@9.5)
320x5 (@9.55)
* Having an issue letting the weight get forward and almost fell forward on the first rep of the third set. Likely an artefact of trying to correct knee slide / butt shoot-back.

db Press:
25’s x8 x8
35’s x8
45’s x8 x8 x8

* I’m not screwing around with LP resets since I have to do this all over again in a couple months. Alternating db volume, barbell intensity. Had to titrate the db weights.

I agree with no resets prior to getting the fix. Just go in in the best shape and as strong as you can be. When your body is used to recovering, it will recover better from the carpentry.
