Whiskey, War, Suicide, and Guns

There are no other ways to describe that pulling but I will describe it as insane.
 
I didnt like that 7th or 8th rep, I would have given it a red light.
 
Other than ready for a vacation, how you feeling after a month of volume work?

Do you have your programming worked out so you squat high bar sometimes, "regular" other times, or is that just an "I felt like it" sort of thing?

EDIT: Nevermind, noticed the "deload." I think I see now.
 
On the deload week I will usually use a high bar position just to take stress of the shoulders/wrists/elbows. Otherwise for my main back squat I use low bar. Sometimes during the past few months I have done high bar pause squats as an assistance squat.

Not really a deload but nothing hard. My left bicep and wrist are fucking killing me for some unknown reason, I had to use wrist wraps even on the warm ups and the eccentric hurt my left elbow. I'll eat some food until it feels good. Otherwise, my overhead strength is really taking off. Weight felt great.

Good day. Form was wonky on squats a little but weight moved easy. A symptom of taking too much time off, me thinks.

Felt strong today, so I worked up a little. Squatting must have woke my body up. Top set was pretty easy considering the work I had done before it, so hopefully I can get 3 wheels for 5 in short order. Pauses were kind of shitty, but that's why I tape lifts to make adjustments. Pretty much blew my wad on the main lift.
