Went to a second-part job interview today at a sports medicine office. Excited for this and to leave my current position.

Yesterday I did a strict press workout but took a break from the 5/3/1 protocol since that lift has been sliding so badly. Worked up to working sets of 195x4, couldn't even get 5. Wearing elbow sleeves because my left elbow has been pissy lately. Didn't really seem to help my performance, though I suppose they must have; on the other hand, getting a pump so easily felt like it was harder to lift. I also switched to the barbell from the axle just because I need to retape the latter. So lots of changes that night. Will switch back to the axle next time.

The good thing is my squat continues to improve and my bench press has been holding. I'm also down in bodyweight more than I expected, 203.8. This is a relatively "normal" rate of weightloss from my observations but it's much faster than I personally like for myself. Without a competition looming, half a pound to 1 pound a week is what I usually get. This has been closer to 2 and a little above.
