I've come down with a nasty cold so I got the work in and got out.  I got in my briefs early because my body felt so achy and I didn't have any pop in my legs.  I didn't plan to go any higher on the squat anyway so I didn't spend anymore time on it than necessary.  I'm happy with where my strength is at heading into my final deload week before the meet.

My CNS feels a bit run down after Saturday but I wanted to get real familiar with the shirt today.  I ended up only doing one heavy set and worked doubles at my opener otherwise.  I even touched a one board in the Jack for a double at my opener.  I still won't use the Jack to open, but now i'm wondering if a second attempt might be in the cards.  The Jack is so smooth.  I want to thank Jo Jordan and Matt Ladewski for all their help with programming and breaking down my videos.  Training alone (as a geared lifter) is difficult, but can be done with the likes of these gentlemen.

Cut it short today because I ran out of time. Good training session coming out of the circa-max phase. I was pleasantly surprised with how the suit felt with the straps up. Seemed to be cutting the squat a bit high on a few so I will have to be sure my handler is aware of that in TN.
