Well a few things. Chatted with Phil a bit on the squats and he was using my wrapped squat as a basis for the work sets. I'll knock the weight down a bit as per his direction to get a lot more reps in for my raw squatting.

My guts haven't been so good today either. I'm pretty sure I'm dehydrated a bit if that gives you an idea without going into a lot of detail. Squats and especially the GM's were a bit treacherous.

And a couple of things with the SSB squatting. First for whatever reason my IT bands were killing me. That's the first time in ages and it made it tough to do reps and have them feel good. I just couldn't hit the reps per set I wanted. Secondly is my stupidity. My belt was pinching me a bit on the last set and I let go of the bar to adjust my belt. When I did it I must've shrugged my shoulders a bit and the bar went and fell off of my back getting caught on the safety chains. The handle bit me a little on the top of my ass though to remind me not to be such a dummy. I've got a nice big welt there now. I also decided to let that terminate the SSB squats for the evening.

Axle rows are still damn easy and I think I'll just add 5# a week now to keep them going really easy.
