I hit a really strong Swiss bar bench of 305 on Monday. The weight shot-up so quick that I almost lost balance. Was expecting it to be more of a struggle. Did 235x3x7-8 super-set with rows after. Didn't go too crazy and kept it within an hour and 15 minutes because I had a club event in SF to go to, which was really fun. Felt the urge to get out after dealing with so much stress over the past week. Didn't have much to worry about recovery though, I had two full plates of Persian stews and saffron rice along with wheat toast before leaving, a protein shake on the drive over as well as before bed, got enough sleep, and woke-up feeling totally fresh and ready to train while everyone else I saw online was complaining about feeling bad and needing to drink less in their 30s. On that note, I tried one of the signature drinks being advertised at the club, gave it to someone else because it was like drinking candy, and ordered one with grapefruit juice and then cranberry juice instead. Not even a fitness choice, I just hate drinks that sweet and if I'm putting poison in my body it's nice to at least get some vitamins in with it.

Had another good session today doing squats:

Yukon squats
Up to 415x5
Drop-down to 365x5, 315x8, 225x8, 135x8, 50x8

Confession, I'm being lazy and just treating the Yukon as a straight bar with the weight calculations even though it's closer to 50 lbs. But hey, the round-down is to my disadvantage spec-wise so I'm not cheating.

Will return after 2nd job to do good mornings and abs.
