Workout Notes
Edited three new logos!
My partner are a pretty good matchup, I have an edge in leg strength, he has a much better back and in general upper body. The squats were supposed to be 6 sets of 2, but I did an extra rep each set to make it up. On the other hand, I had to opt to lower the weight on military press.

Great workout. Turns out the bars in our gym vary slightly in circumference. We had started calling the clips SlutClips because of how loose they were. Edited some new logos for the log & blog, now getting into some reading for the week, and then reading MORE Chaos and Pain. I've been reading from the very beginning for the last little while, and I'm now at July 2009.

Notes:
Forgot to write my numbers down for my lifts today, so I just winged it. As it turns out, I guessed the right number, but because I assumed I had guessed too high, I didn't push at least one more rep out.

The latest pattern of missed lifts seems to be clearly telling my to drop back at least a cycle or two before trying to push into new territory. Also, I have a relatively decent grasp of the eating and what is available to me gym wise, so I may plan a small cut. Come October, my buddy/ lifting partner (Phil) and I are planning to move onto the same program, with the goal of tearing shit up. (He's a big fan of Chaos and Pain) I'll definitely keep 531 in my files though.
