Since my PB squat of 315x5x3, I have been unable to replicate it. Today, my warm up at 275# was rough. Instead of going for 325# again, I thought I would be conservative and go for 315#. Apparently, I was still too ambitious because after my first set of 5 which were really rough, I got stapled under my attempt at a second rep for second set.

I backed down to 275# which were still difficult. I added sets at 225# also.

It got worse when I went to RDLs. I felt a lot of strain pulling 225#. I gave up and finished what were supposed to be my work sets at 135#. FML.

I skipped hamstring curls and went straight to toes to bar. I decided to practice some Cross Fit movements. Decided on Fran and worked on barbell thrusters and kipping chest to bar pull ups. Felt really good about the thrusters and worked up to 85#. Racked the bar on my shoulders nicely and didn’t press until I had fully extended and stood tall. Really felt the bar launch up and seemed as if I hardly used my arms. Only problem was that my wrists felt stretched from converting from the rack position to the press. I’m definitely going to have to get wrist wraps. Am pretty bummed that I lost my one wrist band also, otherwise, I could have used them for some low level support and warmth.
