- Good day overall, did not feel recovered coming in to it but just needed to shake out cobwebs
Squat + Green With belt - x1 \ 5% \ 9-10 - Setting a baseline for this today - Decided to wear belt for this max - Was pretty good at guessing what my max might be - I am surprised actually that I was able to do these numbers a bit - Got 550 on camera, and ran out of room on camera for 570 - Do not know where the 570 came from, I was going to quit at 550 455 x1 @7 495 x1 @8 550 x1 @9-9.5 (on camera) 570 x1 @10 (camera ran out of space)
Time: 24 Min
Paused Bench (pinky on ring) - x1 \ 5% \ 9-10 - Frigged up today, I was supposed to do 3ct Pause Bench - middle finger on ring but did regular bench with pinky on ring instead. Do not know where my mind was at when I mixed up the exercises. - Will make up for this on Thursday by switching back to this exercise instead of doing pinky on ring bench then 315 x1 @7 355 x1 @8-8.5 405 x0 (missed) 375 x1 @9.75

Deadlift against Doubled Mini With Belt - x1 \ 5% \ 9-10 - Decided to wear belt for this max - I am happy about this - Kind of getting the benefits of both standing on an elevated surface (jump stretch platform), plus pulling against bands - Even though I have done this exercise before without a belt, I am not counting this as a PR because this is the first time in a belt doing this. 500 x1 @7 545 x1 @8 605 x1 @9 660 x1 @10

Nice pull man! That looked pretty heavy duty on the upper portion. I can tell it was heavy by the "deflating balloon" noises I was hearing. Slow down on the gains. Leave some for the rest of us.
