* skipped the shoulder press for more recovery of my core. i'm still not 100%. i got a fast 495 and would do backoff sets with that explosive concentric but i still feel a little tenderness somewhere there in my lowerback. i should be back to normal tmrw.

* removed the vertical pressing for more better back recovery. added horizontal push but very light only. doing them close grip and focusing on front delts/tricep by bringing elbow down close to body. felt the front delts activate nicely. might stick with this if it does not cause any back fatigue

* 495 getting harder and harder. the volumes of the backoffs of the push/pull are adding fatigue. bw going down sub 208 and i'm now eating a little more to maintain a 208+ so i can do repeatable 495s a workout without burning out.

* found a way to do one arm pressing easier to balance. i "lean" against the handle where i'm pushing up. the weight is light enough but theres also noticeable fatigue to my core supporting that weight for the duration of the long set. when im leaning/balancing on the handle, it feels a lot easier on the balancing.

* the 225x10 light backoff set is not adding fatigue but helping very much with coordination. i started my routine this afternoon with 405 already because the gym was very busy and i don't want anyone to take the 45lb bumper plates. hard to hoard 4 plates but 2 can be reasonable.

* 225 backoff felt very good on form. its light enough that i got to 20 reps without requiring a breathing reset. i used 225 because its about half of my top set. same thing for the machines, i use a weight a little below half the heaviest weight used.

* finally the deload on rowing volumes added better recovery for my squat. got the 495 this lunch time with more in the tank. i could have done backoff 2-3 reps but im still catching up on sleep coming from a 3-day work week, il do the backoff volumes some other time.
* about time i get to use the +X on my top single. on my best day, the 495 get a +55 for that 545 single. im sure i could have gotten an ugly 550 but another 10lb on top of how that 545 rep looked like is wishful thinking.

* a muscle on my right outer upper thigh felt like it untangled on the concentric of the 495. it did not feel like a torn muscle but the movement of the muscle belly was enough to get me worried. i was already close to the top of the rep and i did not lose power anyway so i completed the rep and also walked it back to rack. walking and any movement with my left leg is normal.
* skipped the rowing last workout because someone was camping on the machine. got very strong now and did 295

* i figured out the function of the upper quad muscle that i strained the other day on my left leg. its an adductor muscle. the squat does not hurt if i concentrate on keeping my quads/toes facing directly forward. thats how i squat anyway but i sometimes point toes outward a little for more ROM. not right now. almost painless at 455 yesterday and this lunch time.
