After Hours:
So, there's some "feh" with the "woot" today.
The pathetic showing in the deadlifts was due to my hands telling me exactly where, how hard, and with what I could go fuck myself. My grip still sucks, but at the end, it was just not happening. I probably could/should have backed off to 295 and done 2x5, but that's a battle for another day.
It was nice to go 5x5 at 165 in the bench. Gives me hope for hitting 200 for a couple of reps in a month.... assuming my friends can hold still and stiff long enough to get pictures taken.
* The long set of 205 squats was due to a 15 minute intermission when a guest came by the house, but I've never squatted 205 before, period, so that was nice to do, especially with the residual soreness from yesterday's shenanigans.
