Worked up to 265 x 5 today. It felt alright, but I could myself starting to lose a bit of balance on the last set, probably about the 4th rep in. Otherwise a good squat day today.
Bench
175 x 5
Easy peasy. I found my grip today and felt tight. I had to do the first three sets up to 135 on a incline bench as the others were taken. Maybe it helped?
Row
Knocked out the RDLs instead. I decided on the spot that my rows were doing well enough, and that I'd benefit more from RDLs in lieu of it to strengthen my posterior chain. It worked out well, and I was able to complete it all before the back pump settled in. Maybe I'll keep it up again next week, and reserve the row for Day 3's in the future.
I'm feeling pretty good! Primed for tomorrow's pulls and grip work.
'Til next time, keep squatting.
