DDD #34

DDD #34

Lifted a little after 6 PM, unusually late, but 275 isn't that heavy any more, so it was fine.  5 singles OTM or so, probably less.

Will do 320 lbs. on Monday for day #35, looking forward to it.

Ate a lot today, feels good, and looking forward to eating some more soon!

DDD #33 (last friday was 30, Mon=31, Tue=32, off Wed/Thu)

Press Test Day, DL

Yesterday, Thursday, just walk and stretch a little.  Got to mid-afternoon and the choice was between exercising and taking a nap - I choose the nap.

Today, Friday:

Press:

21.14 kg x 3
24 kg x 1

Decided to go for multiple singles on a few minutes rest - don't think I have a double in me unless my life depended on it, which it does not.

28 kg x 5 singles on about 3-4 min rest between - this is a PR volume in a single session

DDD #30 (next biggie at day 35)

Straddle - 245 x 5 each way t-n-g

Conventional - 275 x 5, reset at bottom, all done in a minute or so total
