Neal was in a hurry and we pushed the pace a little bit today and both felt smoked. The SSB made me feel like a real weakling and 6 reps at 225 (I think actually 235 or 245 B/C of the bar weight), made me want to vomit for some reason. Were gonna work this bar for a while.

We did some other assistance work, but I forgot what it was. Pretty good day as I did not think my dead was anywhere near 500 and I haven't pulled that heavy lately. I fully expect to hit it soon. I have skipped logging a few workouts, but I plan on keeping a better log now as I am in pretty good shape as far as consistency goes.
