Notes: First time training in the afternoon in a LONG time.  Strength level difference is massive. Gives me confidence for the upcoming contest.  You can really see the lack of flex in the axle on the video.  If/when I transition back to the deadlift bar, I think the carryover will be crazy.  26 reps in a minute was stealing from Klokov performing a similar feat with fat gripz.  He beat me by 6.  Maybe next time.  PR for grinding on for the 546 set.  Video shows how I go about training the heavy work.

Notes: Really wanted to take advantage of my afternoon strength and get 400 on my back again.  My depth was really pretty nuts on this; I imagine it's just from hips being a bit looser.


General notes: Woke up at 195.0.  Diet is still a little loopy, but none of it really matters.  As I'm getting closer, I'm feeling like my old self again.  It's all clicking right when I need to.
