Every day can’t be a +10% day – but 80% days are ultimately what it’s about.

It was great hitting PRs this week, but I knew today wouldn’t be one. The 2nd Joker set would have been 200#, which I did last week in a fresh state, so I knew 200 in a fatigued state was likely not going to happen.

Work up was ok. Top set was a mess, with my bar path all over the place. I’ve lost something with full body tightness and keeping in a good groove. Something to work on. Then the 1 Joker set was a grinder. Got it, but not ideally what I’d want. Still, there it was.

One cool thing tho was the down set work @ 135. I remember being excited when I finally hit 135 on press. Now it’s just a simple working weight. Progress is fun.

Anyways, decent week overall. Next week is a 5’s week with no rep PRs nor Jokers – meant to be a light week for some recoup. Looking forward to it.
