Notes: Rather than do notes after everything, let me just explain how this all worked out.

Did a giant set to start of Squat-chin-press.  No warm-ups for chins, so did the worksets in between the warm-ups for squats and presses.  Once I ran out of chins, I transitioned to band pull aparts, so it went Squat-pull apart-press.  Once I hit 5x360 on squats, I saved 20x180 for the end of the workout so transitioned to shrug-pull-apart-press.  When I ran out of pull aparts, it just went shrug-press as a supersert.  Once I was done with everything else, I did the 20x180.

The widowmaker definitely wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done, but I made it as challenging as I could by ensuring I was lockout out every rep.  Original gameplan was to only continental around 5 sets of the presses, but I had enough in me to do the whole thing.  I think this was the right weight for 1s week rather than 3s, so I may repeat during week 3 or only go up 5lbs and adjust TM from there.

Got the whole thing done in just about 50 minutes.  I'll upload video later.

General notes: Woke up at 195.4.  Fascinating how much food I can add and still not move up much. Think it's a sign to how much I'm burning.  Gonna keep slowly ramping up the intake.


EDIT: Here is video of day 2 and 3
