As always, thank you very much Geoff! Sorry that I didn't reply to this sooner, but 50,000 words?! That is some serious and deep thought on why you believe what you believe. Although, I'm sure you've given plenty of thought to it before and during the entire ordination process.

Relient K The Birds and the Bee Sides
For my low stress day, I thought I could go with some fun listening. This pseudo-Christian alternative band used to be one of my favorites and this album is pure fun.
Squat- 2x5x20, 5x70, 3x85, 2x100, 3x5x114 KG (251 lbs)
Good practice day here. After the ugliness of Monday's squats, I really tired to dial in my form here. It would seem that my last few heavy days have had a lack of "pop" because I'm cutting depth just a smudge higher than allows me to get a good bounce. I've been hitting consistent, below-parallel depth, just not quite low enough for my specific squat mechanics. This should help on Friday.
Bench- 2x5x20, 5x40, 3x60, 2x80, 5x3x96 KG (211 lbs)
After transitioning press to triples to grab some late game progress, he same approach was adopted here. These felt good. Fingers crossed that I grab 225 lbs soon and finally have two wheels.
Power Clean- 2x3x20, 3x40, 3x50, 3x60, 5x3x75 KG (165 lbs)
These were UGLY. I had gotten really hungry by this point, so I foolishly started to rush myself. Missed the very last rep 3 times before I finally calmed down and did it correctly. It seems that I sometimes focus too hard on dragging and staying over the bar long enough and holding all the way to the launch point...and forget that this movement requires a HARD jump. Either way, having these for a light pull on the same day as my light squats is a lot of fun.
Chins- 3x9xBW
Also, in the last post with regard to the home gym situation, it escaped my memory that this tax season! After filing them, my wife and I will have enough to take care of a few responsible adult things and still have plenty left over to put together the home gym (and some left over after that too)! I'm gonna steal it from you for today Geoff: All glory to God!
