  • General: Squat felt so damn good today. Hit 355# with ease, debated going for 375# for a lifetime PR but didn't feel necessary. I'm confident that I can hit 4 plates within the next few months if I keep progressing this quickly. I think the dynamic squats are really benefiting me. My press is extremely weak due to my cutting recently. Seems like my lower body is recovering fine while my upper body is severely lagging behind. Continuing to PR on pullups and dips each week.
  • Nutrition: Really good
  • Body: Legs were kind of fatigued. I haven't been able to catch up on sleep either so I've been really tired.
  • Sleep: 8-9 hours. While I try to drop a few lbs I've been getting up early to walk which has interrupted my sleep cycle.
  • Reflections: I really feel tempted to start working in deadlifts again but I know I'm not ready still. I think I'm going to keep working my way up on the back extensions and just hope to add deadlifts back in a little over a month from now when I come back for second semester. That gives about 37 more days to let it fully heal. Behind the neck press came from an article I read that said it's a great way to increase deltoid size and since mine are very severely lacking in size I wanted to give them a try. They are a keeper as far as I can see.
