Notes: 3:45 between heavy presses, 2:00 between giant sets.  Training in a commercial gym, now that the home gym is packed.  What better way to celebrate being beat to hell from moving your whole house into a truck in 2 days than to set a lifetime strict press PR eh?  I even got it on video: I just need to unpack my video transfer cable.  Didn't quite have the groove of pressing a barbell down when it came time to hit that set, and I may have had more in me with some cleaner technique, but still awesome to move like that.  At the end of the workout, had a better handle on the barbell.  Got a compliment from a gym rando, saying he doesn't see a lot of dudes pressing the amount of weight I move...which happened to be more than he was front squatting in the rack next to me, haha.
Curls were effective.  Didn't tear up my elbows as bad and got a pretty crazy pump.

Woke up at 193.4, which was a 2lb drop over the weekend while basically eating a cheat meal at every meal.  About to be expected, but that also means I pressed MORE than bodyweight for 11 reps, so that's cool.
