Notes:
Was finally able to finish a workout rowing the 95s. Press felt harder today than I expected, although I have lost some weight. I thought I was eating a lot already, adding in another meal isn't gonna be fun.

The chins and dips were honestly tougher than the squatting. Not looking forward to Building the Monolith's assistance prescriptions haha. Everything moved well today, I'm getting a lot better at bracing through the BBB sets but I still need to work on bracing my topsets.

Notes:
The BBB sets were super tough today. Everything else was pretty easy. Probably gonna start upping the assistance volume here as well. That or more conditioning, I've had plenty of recovery bandwidth so far so I want to capitalize on that a bit.

Notes:
Felt okay about the pressing. The first topset was a mulligan, grabbed the bar lopsided like a nincompoop. Gonna have to drop my TM here too. Annoying but not too unexpected, once I start gaining weight this'll start to go up again.

Squat
225 x 5
275 x 3

Notes:
Didn't hit the reps I wanted today. Was definitely all mental, I'm probably gonna retest later. Really frustrated with myself for quitting on 2, I had way more in the tank.

Kept things really easy today, probably too easy. Didn't hit my rep goal for bench, which is really disappointing. I think I might have had it on a better day but it is what it is.
