Notes — 26°F outside 2" of fresh snow / 45°F in garage - I caught my bride just as she was headed out to put a hot water bottle on the bar. It's not that cold.
- SQ - Volume Day. All good. And it's good to be back in the 300's for the squats; the last time I was here was this past Spring, when I topped out at 320x5x3, but my deadlifts had completely stalled for three weeks. That squat reset saved my deadlift at that time. But I am curious now if the added volume is a hindrance or benefit (e.g., HLM vs TM programming).
- BP - Volume Day. All good. Even tried multiple reps on a single breath for each set, maintaining tightness. It seems that 2 is the max, as 3 got a bit wonky.
- PC - Light Day. Not my best 3x5, with varying issues. It just didn't feel like I had the pop with the acceleration for all except for the third set, which popped up and snapped nicely. Funny enough, I typed that and went out for my last set and it turned out to be the best. Odd, as I made sure to maintain the same setup and pull, but that's the way it goes.
