    Off night shift, getting over being sick. But a three hour nap helps a bit.

    Sq 270*5*3
    Pretty rough but worked out alright. Last set felt best which was cool

    Press 130*5*3
    This was good. Loved it.

    Feeling better but diet has been shit. Weight up but not from good macros. Need some more protein, veggies, etc.

    Sq - didn't do, shoulder hurt from the flu shot. Whatever.

    Bench
    210*2 - these weren't gonna go. Ha. Definitely not.
    190*5*2
    Little bench reset commence

    Pull
    325*5
    A little worried about these since the bench felt weak but they went and pretty easy actually. Working on setting the back really well ok the last couple reps.

    Sq 275*5*3
    Last set may have felt the best. This was good

    Press 135*5 135*2*2
    Went to do the second set and got super lightheaded and woozy as I locked out the second rep. 95 degrees in the garage and 16 straight days of work didn't help.

    Sq 215*5*3
    Easy recovery day

    Bench 215*2 195*5*3
    Wanted to do a reset to get the volume but still keep pushing some heavy doubles if I can. This felt good. Nearly a PR

    Pull 335*5
    Really smooth. Feeling good about my movement and form. Going to start incorporating some off day paused DLs

    Went to Yosemite for a few days to do some fishing. Back now and lifting strong.

    Sq 280*5*3
    Last set felt ugly. Didn't have my feet or the bar set well. Still ground them out

    Press 135*5 135*4*2
    Last rep wouldn't go. Reset to 125 next time around.

    Overall a solid afternoon.

    Sq didn't happen - legs too sore from Saturday

    Bench 220*2 200*5*2 200*4
    Definitely think this was a PR but then didn't take enough recovery time before the final set. Still a nice feeling. That 225 looming

    Pull
    340*5
    This was heavy but it went. Form still looks good. Time to add in some paused pulls on wednesday

    Early morning workout because I have a flight at 1115. Never lift as well in the AM (I think it has to do with cortisol or just being a wimp) but I loaded up w food and gave it a shot

    Sq - 285*3 250*5 260*5
    Could tell the squat wasn't going to go from the start but thought I might surprise myself. I didn't. Then tried to do a reset, which has been coming for a while, and couldn't add properly, hence the 250 for a set. 260 moved well though

    Press 140*3 125*5*3
    This felt good. The 140 was heavy but it was nice to hit that number again. I think 145*3 is a max so it's nice to see that about to fall. I'm nearing a switch to "The Bridge" but I'm not quite there yet.

    Traveling on vacation. Eating poorly (very low protein) and not sleeping enough and drinking a bit too much. Got my ass to a decent gym though.

    Sq 265*5*3
    This felt a bit heavier than I think it should have but...travel, diet, etc

    Bench 225*1 205*3 195*5*2
    Definitely weak today but hit a PR!
    Did a drop set to get some volume and shit did not agree w me. No more seeking out high intensity singles, time to just focus on volume.

    Finished up with my first time pushing a prowler. Nearly yielded vomit. Definitely felt awful afterward but got my heart rate up.

    Need to eat better and sleep better and all on this trip. We'll see if that happens.
