-planned the workout however woke up feeling meh and only went because i promised my friend
-I am beginning to think that grip is a decent indicator of how rested your cns and mine was still wrecked

-tried to do Steinborn lift with 135 but it was awkward especially since the plastic clamps dont prevent the weights from sliding down as I tilted the bar so I couldnt get in position...managed to get 135 up with plate on one side slid way over ....id definitely need bulldog clamps to attempt this shit..
-finally 2 dbags doing shrugs with <3 plates left, leaving their shit

135-5 reps
365-1 rep
-jumped in with a friend to show form

225- 5 reps
315- 3 reps

425- 1 rep
+closed belt:
455-1+0 rep...bit ugly
335-8+0 reps...cns was wrecked, should have skipped this.....reps were ugly, was aiming for 10-12 but meh...

-did bench sets between last 2 sets

Bench:
135-5 reps
225-5 reps
315-8+0 reps....friend helped with unrack, did not attempt 9th as 8th rep was about a 9/10
335-4+1 reps....had a random guy give me an unrack/spot, got 5th about halfway and then hit the wall...

Haven't checked here in a while. Deadlifted 800 yet?
 
Yep, apparently it's an IPA and at 9% pretty strong but well hidden....I usually dont like IPAs but this was quite tasty. I mostly stick to porters and stouts with occasional ales...
