    135x5x2 hey, it helped for regular dl
    165x3
    195x2
    220x1 hook
    245x5x4 hook - between dl & chins and these my hands were feeling pretty beat up, and hooking these even though they're relatively light has helped

    Trying out something a little different for light & med squat days, today being light day.
    Had some weird right lateral knee pain for the first couple sets with weight, but after settling into my normal squat stance it went away.

    ProTip - your set will likely go better if you don't hit your nuts with the plate while positioning the dip belt.

    Nice work, you'll hit the next plate milestone shortly.

    Additionally, appreciate you calling me out for being "pathetic" up in Rip's forum.

    Thanks.

    Well, you know, we all have our personal standards that don't necessarily apply to others.

    Same experience here.

    Ran out of time as parental duties called.

    You'd think I would have had lunch today after yesterday's fun. You would be wrong, and these would suck donkey balls.
    Apparently this bonus round of pressing is supposed to be more medium than light, so I'm working the load up here with 6 rep sets.

    As usual, left adductor tendon hurt like a bitch the first couple warmups and was then fine the rest of the way.

    Notes for the work sets:
    1) fuck that sucked, was form shit all around
    2) form much better, R5 pretty hard
    3) form ok, R5 a total fucking grind that barely made it, and R4 was a small grind as well
    Of course, learning well from last week, I got 0 minutes sleep Monday night, forgot to eat enough yesterday before fasting 12+ hours for today's blood draw, and got too distracted at work today to eat lunch. All that shit may have added up to something ungood. Or I'm just weak.
