    The reason for the problems with the 335 reps on squat is that on the last rep of the first set I hit the safety on the left side missed the rep.

    I wasn't able to get ahold of micro-plates yet to load my press, apparently I had another 5 pound jump in me.
    My final rep of my final set was a failure due to form for the power clean, I acted like I was basically doing a set of 4
    and got that last rep. I wont be able to micro-load for another week possibly due to shipping, so I expect my upper body
    lifts and cleans to stall here soon on 5 LB jumps. I also forgot to do my chins till about an hour after i finished the workout
    so I just did them on my pull-up bar that I have at home.

    FIRST STALLS! I stalled on the squat, everything felt fine, felt great and strong going into the session,
    honestly better than all my previous morning sessions. asked the first three questions, the only answer there
    was a possible recovery shortcoming BUT I doubt it since I added in the light day this week and ate like a king,
    even though I didn't track my protein. Which means I fell short. For my Bench I was doing it in the power rack
    since I didn't have a spotter and this likely changed my leverages, certainly how tight I was, although the stall
    was not unexpected. that last rep on deadlift was for my form, I wanted to make sure I remembered the correct
    tightness before the pull.

    NOTES: Today I failed the squat reps again, the final 315x1 warmup was because on my last 295 rep i went far forward onto my toes, a problem I have been struggling with. From this point forward I will be recording my rest times. Although I have not previously recorded my rest times these times are not representative of my previous rest times between sets. My head gets all confuddled when I miss reps, due to emotion I don't properly slow myself down and set myself up for failure. Although I will say that the beginning Press reps were giving it my all. For the Power cleans I PROBABLY might've made it through. Previous rest times more closely resemble 7 minute rests between squats, 3-5 minutes between press, 5-6 between bench, and 3-5 between Clean sets. I am guessing that I would have completed my squat reps except that on the last set I made the mistake of using my phone and earphones for music, this caused me to go extremely quick and hard between my 3 successful reps and after I had made myself stupidly good and tired I squatted down with High-bar resemblance mechanichs, something I tend to do when the weights get heavy and I feel safer with high bar mechanics so I stay a little tiny bit more upright and don't reach back, this obviously kills my hip drive.

    Today was the day before halloween and as such I dressed up as a bro, all subsequent wrongdoings are part of the Bro day.
    I wasn't super worried about getting the reps properly since I just reset on everything but deadlifts.
    I may have missed posting here for a few sessions but I wrote it all down in my pen and paper log.

    Since I didn't miss my squat reps today the press misses are far more accurate to what I should have gotten last time I pressed. On the final rep of the first set I did an involuntary calf raise to accelerate the Bar upwards and thus missed the rep. The cleans I would say I felt great for them, and didn't notice any form problems leading up to my worksets. Just gonna reset on these. PS I have a history with BW pulls on stationary bars, that bad history in calisthenics makes me really dislike chins, the weird sets are me realising I have to go hard if I want effective AMRAP sets on chins..

    Everything went super good today, I had to squat and press belt-less today which went just fine. For my cleans I REALLY noticed my arm-pull problem on the second set when they started landing low on my chest. Really focused in on cuing straight elbows and that helped more than I ever imagined it would. i still have a tendency to get lazy on the last two reps but its just like squeezing the chest on deadlift. I need to do it whether or not I'm tired. Really realized how much of a power leak that it is.

    I passed out on the third rep of 135 powercleans and stopped the workout there. the reason for passing out was that I didn't eat that morning.
