Something about today just felt good. Just on a roll. Supersetted the assistance work. And gee… it was get into the gym, and get out of the gym. I liked it.

Originally I was going to do 85# on the assistance, but backed off… always start light. That was reasonable, but I do think I can up it later on. In fact, I started thinking about maybe pryamiding down on my assistance work… go as heavy as I can for 10 reps, drop weight, 10 reps, etc… But I will save that for some other time.
