  • Deadlifts felt great up to what I was supposed to do. So I decided to go up in weight and my grip started failing on 325. Then I told myself to stop being a pussy and pulled it easy. Then I went to 330 and pulled it easy too. Grip wasn't strong, but it was strong enough
  • Squats felt great. Been spending 15-20 minutes a morning stretching out my hips and I think it's helped

Notes:
  • My friend has been bugging me to go lift with him ever since he heard how much stronger I've been getting. The problem is he goes to (now defunct) Planet Fitness which resulted in a bunch of smith machine stuff. Next time a real gym. Now just to get my other friend to stop comparing his leg press numbers to my squats
  • It's amazing how much shit I can get through when not doing high weight compound lifts. Didn't really feel the need to rest between sets at all, where as when I squat or deadlift I am huffing air like it's crack
