Well I had to cancel the Canadian National Grip Championships today which sucked. At least I hadn’t put any orders in for the shirts and trophies yet. 

 

Bench wasn’t as snappy today. Dehydrated and bad food choices. I’ll do a reset next week.

Well I’m thinking tomorrow will start my “quit eating like an asshole” phase. Looking forward to seeing the roll of dimes again. Did the Deads as “second floor” ala Rindo to get some more out of them. Going to try a singles only progression.
