Notes : Hell to the yes. No explosion, no blood. I was pretty nervous going into tonight wondering if the pressure would build up and jack up my finger, but it didnt. The whole night i felt like a tingle in the tip of it but never any pain. Oddly, it felt less painful benching than it did all day today.

Bench felt pretty damn solid. 245 was barely a grind, probably had 250 but ill keep this as the opener because i need to pause instead of touch and go. Did some triples hitting volume at 225 which is about 85%. Under where i planned on being percentage wise, but this is a pretty jacked up little cycle im on for obvious reasons. Press was easy, lockouts actually werent too bad either.

Excited. Feel whole again almost. I want to get a 5 lbs PR on every lift for the meet, so a 410 squat, 270 bench, and a 470 deadlift. I still need to run numbers past matt but i think 5 lbs is doable. Adrenaline will be pumping pretty hard so i think im good for it.

Freaking. Pumped.
