360x5x3

RDL - straps, last two sets belted
140kg (308) x5x3




I feel really good about the 308 triple. It was hard, but I'm sure it'll go up next week.
I think all the leg press work is helping with my strength out of the hole, not sure though.

I should've been able to do more on the high box squats I think. Not sure why I couldn't.

The very first thing I did when I walked into the room was jam my fingers between a loaded bar and a platform. Two of them turned that sprinkled red colour, and one of them right now is hard to the touch (kind of freaky actually). Hopefully that heals soon, gripping is weird.

I've made some huge mistakes, but they were necessary, because without them I wouldn't have learned anything.
