OHP, SQ

Today, Thursday, after yesterday off, just stretching

MP:
bar x 3, 5
plan called for 34 reps (equivalent of 1 x 1-2-3-4 and 4 x 1-2-3)
75 lb x 1-2-3-4-5, 30 min break, 1-2-3-4-5 (total 30), short rest, 1-2-3-4 (total 40), short rest, 2-3-1 = total 46, a big increase from 30 reps.  NB: 1st 75 lb. rep felt like absolute crap, able to fix it.
Next session, Saturday, will be 30 reps, then next week, 50 and 30, then 55 and 50

SQ later

FSQ:
75 x 2 - paused, exhale, breath or two
95 x 3 - paused, exhale, breath or two
115 x 4 - paused, exhale, just one breath

BSQ:
115 x 0 - felt completely fatigued from the rest of lifting today, and in particular, the paused, exhaled FSQ really fatigued my abs, plus my shoulders worked _great_ in the FSQ but now they feel oddly stretched and weak for the BSQ.  Perhaps the lesson is to keep FSQ and BSQ on separate days, or keep the FSQ to a minimum when warming up.  Couldn't rack the bar comfortably for the BSQ so decided discretion is the better part of valor and we'll leave these for another day.  But FSQ were really good, lots of dorsiflexion, and felt like I was coming straight up each time.
