SSB Squats 390
3x5

GHR miniband
1x25

Notes: Kinda an off day in training today. Pulled some muscles in my glutes and upper back, and was hurting for recovery. Diet has been shit this past week with celebrating my recent promotion, so I should get back into the swing of things once my eating gets back on track.

SSB Squats 390

Notes: I knock out the first 3 fast, and last 2 suck. Left knee has been swollen recently, don't know why.

Miniband pull aparts
4x19

Pin press off chest 270
3x5

Swiss bar bench 185
1x27

(4) Mat pulls 495
1x6

Notes: Pulled with my new texas deadlift bar. Feels so awesome, much more natural. Now that the ROM is lower, remember to bend knees more. I think 5 mat is just an awkward height, as these felt great, as did 6 mat. As I stated before, I won't limit myself to 5 if I have more in me, 5 is just the minimum.

Pin press off chest 265

Swiss bar bench 185
1x26

(5) Mat pulls 495
1x5

Notes: A little more difficult.  I think the 5 mat point is most likely when form gets odd, as it's too low to just lockout but too high to get momentum going.

Note: I'm already hitting the "peaking" part of the program, where Day A feels horrible and Day C feels great.  I'm looking very meaty right now, and losing some of my abs.  Once my wife is done with her marathon my eating will taper down a little, but until then I'm eating like it's my job.
