SSB squats
335 x 3
380 x 3
430 x 1
Almost failed that rep. Everything felt ultra heavy. Also felt like my back was about to crumple under the weight. Worked abs to failure in Muay Thai the day before which could be to blame.

Strip set of 330x8, 240x9, 150x10, 60x12.

RDL
215 x 8, 10

Right knee is really hurting now. It wasn't bad during the session but it's worse at night. Did extensive static stretching in the evening and I'm suspecting that's causing it.
Did a bench press workout on Saturday. Up to 240x3 and repping 215x7-8 for assist work. Rows were up to 215x8.

Ate horribly on Sunday. Had frozen yogurt in the afternoon and then a huge noodle bowl at the mall followed by Cinnabon for dessert. Probably good weight gain for arm growth, though.

Made sure to make it to Muay Thai yesterday after working overtime. Only me and one other guy. Classes are shrinking drastically. It's the cardio and kids classes that are big. This really sucks, but it does get me more 1-on-1 training. Coach Anthony told me I'm still not swiveling on the ball of my foot enough when I kick, especially with left leg kicks. I need to work on my footwork in general. Will keep watching Bazooka Joe's tutorial videos and practice out of class. It will be a big focus for me going forward.

We worked a combo on our partner's mitts: 1-2, block left hook, 2-3. Add on outside right leg kick. Next, add on 3-2, then inside leg kick.

Finished with 3 rounds on the bag. 1 round boxing, 2nd round kickboxing, 3rd Muay Thai.

Used the 12 oz gloves on the bag:
