 Forgot to log something really important for yesterday but I went out and picked up a large pizza from Mountain Mike's for $17. Tuesday special.

Got to go shooting at a range on Sunday, was a lot of fun. Thanks to George for showing me the ropes.

Squatted an easy 515 on Monday night. We're talking around 10:30pm here, felt pretty tired and also nauseous (probably from my diet) but despite feeling like shit consistently I also feel strong and that's more important for right now. If I still feel terrible after I start losing weight then I'll have to get my stomach issues checked out.

Bench pressed 365 pretty easily yesterday. Wouldn't say the weight rocketed up or anything but there was no grind, it locked out smoothly. Did Kroc rows again but only for 1 set each arm, then moved on to T-bar rows with 5 plates. Really focusing on retracting the scapulae when I train lats lately.

A few hours later before bedtime I noticed a smoke smell in my house. Checked the kitchen to see if anything was left on, then realized it's from the wildfires. Air quality had changed that fast. Closed all the windows, ran my air purifier on high, moved all my plants to my bedroom, and ran the AC as I slept. Throat still feels a little scratchy. Then again, I constantly have bizarre ailments from living a hyper and gravitationally-challenged life so I can never be sure what is causing what. Could have strained my throat from growling during Kroc rows.

Have a good mask that filters out particulates so I'll be using that anytime I train for now. Running, lifting, bag-work, etc.
