Just OK today. NO pop and little motivation for some reason. I was supposed to get some speed squatting in after the military press, but I warmed up and cut it off. Still tight and sore from this weekend and my back is tweaked from my crappy bed or something. I feel like a mental midget and I think I need a training partner or two. It may be time to face the truth that I don't train as well on my own. The older I get, the mentally softer I am getting. Meanwhile Charlie is spending every minute squatting in the bush getting stronger.

Great day even though I did not do a lot on paper. 300x4 reps smoked me, but in a good way. Also I can feel my conditioning level going up as I could have never handled 10 minutes of rolling a few weeks ago. Good day.

Not a great day. Bench is so messed up from lack of frequency that I was almost at 90% before I realized I was too wide. Felt good though as far as bar speed and my pec doesn't hurt. Overall just meh...

Took me 8 minutes and something, but I started wearing a belt that choked me out. Fun, but I have got to improve conditioning. Closest I've come to vomiting in a while.
