This is supposed to be a deload week after doggin' it last week. I prefer to drop overall training volume when I need to deload, and pick exercises that have a lower absolute load such as barbell military press or front squats so I can still push to keep my central nervous system up. Weight was down after 5 days without training. I typically eat much less on days that I don't train to stay lean. So my energy was not the best and hydration was likely less than optimal.
Maxed out on incline, hit a solid 355 with a 2 second pause. Not my best effort on incline ever, but with the pause I'll take it. Still feeling the pec strain, and trying to roll and stretch whenever I get the chance. If I can manage to not work myself in to the ground I'll be fine - but then again that is always the same issue. Tomorrow is maxing out on front squats, and I'm looking forward to making a run at a 400+ front squat which would be a PR.
