The plan for Saturday was to take a last warm-up on the squat and a little bigger than opener with RB for a single. Things went as planned. It felt heavier than it should have BUT it went pretty well!

Squat
750 – full gear
935 – full gear – last warm-up
1055 – RB

Lots of core work to finish up, no pulls…

I kept it low volume and got through it pretty dang quick. Feeling good! One more bench session and it’s all she wrote!

I bet you didn’t expect me to post a video like this. It’s about time to spill some blood. (deadlifting of course, my shins -nothing more, maybe my nose, or byrds.)
