Walked in feeling like dog ****. Felt good during the lifts but wheezy stumblebum in between. Finally tried the safety squat bar (just for variety) and that thing is pretty difficult to mount due to the rotation involved--this is the reason I nearly tapped out on my first set of 315, better unracks made the subsequent sets easier. The actual lift felt more like a low bar squat with a sort of upright upper body.
Bench press felt fine but it's been a while since I've done sets of 6 and didn't feel like pushing until RPE 10.
Tried some of those maniac cheating rows suggested by that freak with the 900 lb deadlift and the bony legs. Felt alright though I wasn't trying for a challenging weight.
Push presses, I'm just slightly afraid of lowering the weight in BTN position though everything has actually gone fine so far. I'm not afraid of it in regular position, but it does *hurt* a bit. I'm quickly growing to hate the SOTTs press.
