Woke-up and did 40 goblet squats with a 50 lb kb. 

After breakfast and before work, did a quick squat set before going to work with 150 lbs using the SSB. 10 front squats super-set with 10 back squats, ending with 20 pull-ups.

For yesterday's deload session, I did shoulder giant-sets taken from Mythical Strength's Little Book of Bad Ideas.

Axle press
150 x 10
Dips x 20
Lat raises 10 x 15
20 band pull-aparts

90 sec rest

BTN press 65 x 15
Dips x 12
Lat raises 10 x 10
20 band pull-aparts

90 sec rest

Log press
140 x 10
Dips x 8
Lat raises 10 x 10
20 band pull-aparts

Wanted to do dumbbell pressing for the second exercise but they made my elbow hurt.

Rather than run it again for 6 sets I called it a night there. It was almost 10pm, my elbow tendon was hurting, and my shoulders were blown up just from that (I realized mid-workout how sore they were from the reverse-grip benching done on Monday). I'm definitely going to be hitting this again with more intensity and sets for a non-deload session.

About the elbow, it's gotten problematic enough that I'm going to have to take it more serious than just try to avoid aggravating it and expecting it to get better in a few days. I definitely have golfer's elbow, and have a cursory rehab protocol in mind of wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, hand expansions in a bucket of sand, wrist rolling, and backwards hand stretches.
