I'm out of the gym for the rest of the week to take a break and deload. I'll be back in there this weekend or early next week looking for PRs in the bench and squat with wraps. I have a lot of confidence that this is gonna go very well for me.

Squat
Friday
Squat
up to 495 for 3 sets of 2
My right leg was starting to tighten up a lot so I shut it down there. One more upper and one more lower session left and then I'll test my lifts. I can't justify going to the NASA meet when I disagree with their hypocrisy regarding drugs.

Wednesday
Close-Grip Bench Press
up to 385, then a miss at 405, then back down to 315 for five
Lat Pulldown (pronated grip)
3 sets of 10
The pronated grip on the pulldowns seems to recruit my latissimus dorsi more. I've never been told this.

Squat
Tuesday
Squat
up to 405 in doubles. Right QL and IT band felt like hell so I quit early.
Lat Pulldowns
5 sets with underhand grip.
I had a massage last night. I think it did a lot for me but it's gonna take a couple more to get back to normal. I'm gonna keep up the foam rolling and stuff as a supplement. Close grip bench tomorrow.

Bench/Squat (PR)
Friday
Bench
up to 365x1 and a miss at 405.
I'm going to stick exclusively to close grip at the university gym until they get the new benches in. I hope they're better. I can't bench heavy there because of the rack heights.
Squat
135x5, 225x2, 315/405/495/545/600x1
*PR... in fact, this is basically my first double bodyweight squat. I weighed in around 304 with clothes on and wearing my Chuck Taylors.

Lower/Conditioning
Saturday
I spent a little over 5 hours loading boxes into a moving van for my now-former boss. A professor of over 20 years has a LOT of books. It was nice to skip the regular stuff, especially because my legs/hips have been feeling like crap lately.
