Heavy Day

I decided to skip Medium day on Friday and get an extra 2 days of rest, was feeling a bit burned out. Well that was a definite win, cause I felt so strong today.

Squat
135 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 2
305 x 1
335 x 5, 315 x 5 x 2



Press
45 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 2
150 x 5, 140 x 5 x 4



Chin ups + 50 LBs

I'm going to skip Medium day every 3 weeks or so, and then take another 2 days off. This allows some fatigue to dissipate.
