The gym was crazy today with tri + chest guys ... yikes. Seems like Monday is the universal day for that.

I had a bit of a crazy weekend and my weight has not recovered. Hopefully it does ... at least mostly.

Decided that my back wasn't healed enough yet for squats so we just did a normal Thursday workout even though I'm out of town after work tomorrow so there shall be no squatting! Hopefully I heal up a bit and come back stronger. Today felt awkward and somewhat weak.

Decided to squat heavy today just because. I got up to 15lb less than my all time PR ... which is not bad for being 20lb less body weight and not having trained heavy in a long time.

Good to know I still got 3 plates +.

Today I messed around a bit with my grip width. Trying to see where I could get better chest activation. I actually brought my grip in about 2 finger widths and it seemed to take some stress off the shoulders and put it more on the chest. I felt quite strong on the first set and I've never even attempted 2 sets of 225lb before so overall it was a win.

Weight is starting to come on though ... I have had a few bad weekends in a row of eating... summer time is hard to stay consistent!

A bit of a messed up workout. The gym partners showed up at different times and lots of equipment was out of order.
