Note
Felt OK, nothing amazing. The lifts got better by the second wave, and into the third. The final lift was a technique failure rather than strength per se. Came off the chest fast, but the right forearm lagged slightly, either due to the rolling of the bar, me being useless or something like that. So the left arm went almost straight to lockout while the right was trying to drag itself into position. Attempted to right it, but racked the left and dropped the right on the pins. Would have tried it again, but I was done for the day. After that even the 100x12 on closegrip felt hard.
This was the first frost of the year, so I had a hard time getting, and keeping, warm during the session. I need a bit more training gear.
