Notes:
Whoo, done with very high volume week. I'm soooo ready for de-load
Somehow I gained 3-ish pounds this week after gaining like 2 pounds the first 6 weeks. I don't know how that happened. I'm guessing it's just day-to-day variation.
Speed bench feels real easy despite me using more than 50% of my 1RM... when I tested 1RM on packing day it was 175, but last week on the 2x3 heavy i did 175 x 3 twice.
For some reason, scap push ups are a lot easier in the workout than during warmups.
