I don't know what my problem is with squats recently. These were supposed to be 5's across. Maybe I just need to work on my testicular fortitude.

Don't know what's going on with my deadlifts. I'm taking a couple of weeks off soon, so if I'm just a little bit burnt out, that will help.

I've been working on the descent speed of the first rep of sets. I don't have a problem with the following reps, but the first rep is typically much slower, especially at heavier weights. When I did my failed attempt at 265, my descent took about 6 seconds. On the first rep of each of these sets, the descent took about 2 seconds (vs. about 1.5 for the second rep). I'm making progress.

enjoy your vacation!

Thanks, Mr. B. I've been debating whether or not to try to fit in a couple of workouts while I'm away, mostly to avoid the DOMS when I get back. I'll most likely just enjoy the vacation and put up with the DOMS when I get back.

I was hiking a lot, and I tried to do so body-weight squats when I remembered...

Did that work for you for avoiding the DOMS?

Just curious. Given this " testicular fortitude." Are you a friend of Cactus Jack also known as Mankind?
