Notes

This week was always planned to be sparse with the lifting and heavy on the rest. I accomplished the goals of squatting 415 pounds and 295 pounds for 1 rep. I did get both of them recorded and the failed attempts at 420/305 as noted above.

I contemplated doing the deadlift max attempt the same day I did the squat because that’s the way I normally do it but ultimately decided not to. I regret not doing that knowing what I know now. If I had known I would have gotten sick Friday, I would have organized my week differently. As a result, I don’t see a scenario that I am lifting for another couple of days. The illness isn’t too bad as the headache has mostly passed but I simply cannot hold any food down right now.
