SQ rep PR! I'll take it. Setting rep PRs while I've got bronchitis is pretty fucking sweet.

B rep PR!

May not do DL. Will play by ear. Yep, decided to skip DL. Will get 405x5 next week.

OHP rep PR! Tried for third rep on first set, failed right above forehead. 2nd set was good.

This is not the time of year for dieting, my friend. Not at all.

Good stuff here and congrats on your PRs. Happy Thanksgiving!

[Str8shutr]

Yeah, I'm picking up what you're putting down, Ud. What I have found, though, is if I don't diet this time of year, when Jan 2 comes, I'll be 15lbs heavier. Don't want that this year. My diet usually has one cheat day per week, in which I try to eat ALL the carbs, so that works well for days like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I want to slide into the 264 weight class at my next meet, so I've got some work to do.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
