405 was tough. Bar speed was fine, but reps were mentally challenging. Gotta get over that. EZweight!

285 went up well.

Meh. Still learning how to do OHP with this setup. I have to walk them out of the rack and do them in front of a mirror. Both factors are fucking with me.

No lifts. Maybe tomorrow.

Did this one at home with the little guy. We had a lot of fun with the "big ball". I have one of those big ass exercise balls that are like 70cm in diameter. He loves to push it around back and forth. Then for a while he would just let it hit him in the tummy, and say "buuummmmp". Lots of fun! Afterwards we took a ride on the tractor, as he was such a good boy.

Good reps on SQs. All reps were plate rattlers, except last two. Good volume.

Went back and looked up best B PR, 295x2x3 TnG at BW of 297. Comp pause was 286@292. So I'm creeping up on lifetime PRs, at ~30 lbs lighter.

Last curl rep was sooooo cheaty

On first set of CGBP, got cramp in left abs after 4 reps. Racked it, rested 20 secs, and finished set.

395x2 went up easily. Almost went for the triple, but I'll save that for next week.

Feeling the tightness. Think I'll do one lightish day on Friday this week, and then hit it hard next week.

Decided to sub out Chinz for DLs. Hamstrings were tight after SQs, think they need a little rest.
