Notes - An ok day. I felt a bit beat up. Lot of stress here lately. My wife is 38 weeks pregnant and tested positive for COVID-19. Fuck sake. It's messy. I didn't get the last rep on the OHP. It was heavy today. Maybe a bit run down, this showed up in the bench on Monday too. I am probably at the end of NLP for pressing lifts, perhaps. I'll have to get into the Blue Book and practical programming and figure out a strategy that makes sense. I wish my OHP was better. Stalling out at 155 is frustrating. I'm sure my technique could be better. Doing 5s with this lift is harder than 5s for any other lift I find. Struggling with effective breathing. On the other hand the DL was encouraging. I took much less rest time than I have in the past, moved with pace, and got the set of 5 done. I'd put it at about a 7 out of 10 effort, which is to say it was challenging but I had plenty left in the tank. I am glad I went for 375 and not 365, which was my plan going in. I'm thinking a 10lb jump next week is probably the right call.
