Solid session, would have liked five, but I am trying to not pull complete ass-tasticly. Felt like all were pretty solid, def had another. Heavy RDLs are another beast, maybe a solid set of 8-12 is where I should be at with these, maybe a heavy 5 is too much, but felt like hitting 365 cuz big plates.

Anyway, great stuff with the coaching, I think it’s gonna be great.

Not crazy happy with bench, thought it would move much snoother, didnt drift enough. Cant be upset, it was five pounds under my best, got it twice, had a weird light headed thing on bench today tho. Then some pumpy assistance. Prolly some light stuff on thursday, then like nothing until monday, little rest time I guess.
