    Intensity:
    Squat: 360x3 PR
    Bench: 260x1x3 PR
    Pullups: BW+22.5x5x3

    The squat was smoked. Bench was a PR, but it was ugly and I knew my form wasn't good. I wanted a triple or 2 doubles. I always do upper body intensity first, but all of the benches were used so I decided to squat first. I don't know if that was also responsible for the poor benching.

    Volume Day
    Press: 150x3x5
    Squat: 330x3x5
    LTE: 30lb ez curl plus 80x8,5,5
    Chins: BWx12,9,8
    Neck Harness: 30x25x4

    Squats were very hard. I regularly let the bar go forward of midfoot,too.

    I was obviously under-recovered. I had a period of 24 hours on my rest days where I didn't eat which is stupid. I ate a whole pizza last night for my carb backload, but I'm obviously an idiot. I won't do this again.
