Heavy squat single plus 3 sets of 8. Fives on the press. Hip seems better. Not thrilled that I dropped my 5x5 squats completely on Sunday but hopefully it won't make too much difference over a 3 week minicycle.

Deadlifts to 405 lbs x5
225,265,305,345,385,405
Well that was a LOT better then last weeks attempt which was horrible. Only difference this week was I didn't do drop squats on Monday after squats. Lesson learned, no more drop sets, which is fine as I hated doing that much cardio anyhow.
Shrugs to 255 lbs x5

Good mornings to 235 lbs x5

I should not have been allowed in the gym today without adult supervision. Got in, warmed up, loaded to bar for my first set of FS, tied my shoes and went to squat. I got as far as unracking the bar and went "holy crap this is heavy" "wait, somethings wrong" Looked at the bar "wait, that's 185, I'm only going to 215..."
Fixed that mistake and continued on, somewhere around the third set I looked at my buildup and thought "somethings wrong" Fired up the the journal app on my phone and saw the error, I wrote 210 when it should be 215.
I think I'll be happy tonight if I manage to get home without getting lost.

Bar placement was too low on my back for 345, kept having to roll the silly thing back up in between reps.
