Solid day!
Box squats felt great; made a big jump to start at 165 and was shocked at how heavy it felt, but the second set at 165 was much better, and built from there. 185 was tough for sure. I'm hoping the chains are respectably heavy, because it's a little demoralizing to feel like 185 is tough.
Step-ups went well. Again, found a 7RM on these - no way I would have gotten an 8th rep at 133.
CTBs all butterflied and easier than last week. Ripped once on the very first set, then again on 3 or 4, and then a big one on 6 and I just called it. I knew from the muscle-ups yesterday that my hands were in rough shape, so I shaved them down quite a bit this morning, but apparently not enough. Dammit. In any case, happy with the way these felt today. Keep 'em coming.
Felt much stronger on the rows this week than last week, so perhaps it was just the sickness making me feel out of shape last week. And no grip fatigue this week! Although I did bleed all over the handles (of course I cleaned it up).
