I can relate to the allergies. I failed to mention that my fiancé was visiting when I got snowed in, so I was not complaining.

Coming off a Deload week I expected the weights to go up easier than they did. Belt was fitting a little tighter. My obliques must be getting bigger.

350 x 3 I was tempted to rack it after the fist rep but I thought I have too far to go to fail now. Then I ended up falling on the last set.
395 x 1 (failure) I was left wondering if it was a strength issue or if I did not push myself enough. When I racked it I noticed a guy had come across the gym to spot me. That rep must not have inspired confidence. Either way it really sucks.

If your TM is 440 the 395 was there. Sounds like an off day. You will get it next time around.

Been there, done that. It’s part of the game.

You’ll get it. Failure just motivates to do better next time.

I’d think the farmer’s walks overshadowed the squat weights.

I was disgusted with missing my squat reps on Monday. I looked back on this log and see that I was into my 6th cycle of the 5/3/1 format making 15lb jumps in theoretical max. It’s not quite so bad. Just need to reevaluate and make a change.

I wouldn’t sweat that squat rep too much. Some days are better than others. You’ll get it!
