Notes:
Hard but doable today. Had longer rest times than normal since I trained with a partner today. Feel really tired now, but that's normal. I'm ready to be done with finals, way too much stress.

Good day today. My new belt came in, it's still super stiff but man the difference is crazy, felt super stable. Toyed around with neck work a little bit, probably gonna add that in somewhere where it makes sense. Also finally got 10 x 10 on chins, which was a pretty great feeling.

Notes:
Everything moved well today, despite running off of four hours of sleep. Assistance work as a giant-set, once again very tough but I'm definitely in a rhythm with it. Part of me wants to lower the assistance work next cycle to give my elbows a break, but also part of me wants to really push it. I'll see how I feel this weekend.

Notes:
Felt very dead today, didn't sleep well at all last night. Everything moved fine, although bench topset was grindier than I would like. I'm chalking it up to the poor sleep. Elbows also felt a little beat up after, probably all the dips. Definitely taking it easy next week on the assistance.
