Nice workout, exhausting. Going into this session I had three goals. The first was to be able to fit into my briefs that I have not used yet since my clot. Got that. The second was to pull 635 (randomly selected number). Got that. The third was to maybe go for a PR if I was feeling good. 635 came up really fast and wasn’t too hard at all, but I wasn’t feeling good after that. Every pull I made my legs got more pumped, and that made my circulation get cut off more and more in my right leg (its still 2” bigger than the left). As a result my calf and foot was partly numb for the 665 attempt. Missed it at my knees, but I know it’s not a strength issue – definitely form, and a partially numb leg. I was using a narrower grip on the bar tonight and it seemed to hamper my lockouts, I should have known better. I will jump into the briefs again next week and work on form a bunch, as that is what I should have done tonight with this being my first workout back in the briefs. I will get my groove and form back and tear things up soon. BTN PP OH Squats are ridiculously hard. It was only my second time doing OH squats ever, and to do them after heavy deads was kind of hard. High pulls were great, and I finished with some sumo sldls to stretch everything out.
