280 felt ridiculously heavy. I barely got the first one off the floor. I didn’t spend enough time warming up.

About 4 hours later: 45 minutes lacrosse (wall ball, shooting, running)
Weight: 174

210x4 (falling forward a ton/was working on keeping an arch) just felt off this day and couldn’t handle the weight. I was tired. Working every night has worn me down. I was kinda pissed so I worked on form. It wasn’t heavy but falling forward was jacking up my back so I stayed at 135
135 5x5

worked about 7 hours. Replaced 5 fence posts.

Felt tired and sore from work. Went to a party saturday so I didn’t get much sleep. We also ran extra sprints during practice right before.

Weight is 175. I’m eating a ton but I think all the tennis and work is slowing my progress down. I am for the most part just as strong as I was at 190. I feel more athletic and strong so I’m not worrying about my weight.
