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.

Close-Grip Bench Press
up to 385, then a miss at 405, then back down to 315 for five

Lat Pulldown (pronated grip)

The pronated grip on the pulldowns seems to recruit my latissimus dorsi more. I've never been told this.
