100 lunges Sunday as well.

Best 5x5 was 335 with the safety. Could have probably grinded out 5x5 today but wanted to get the deficits done and get home since it was so late after work. Dropped a set on the deficits even with them being easier than first 2 weeks to rest up for heavy DLs Friday before deload.
