Good session! Really packing the stuff in.  I notice on the days I don't eat a ton of carbs I have a ton of energy. It's supposed to be the opposite really, so I don't know what's happening; maybe I was eating carbs too close to the start of my workout and was still digesting when I would start?  I don't know, because I still eat about an hour before workouts on low-carb days. Anyway, I'm definitely not imagining it.   

I wanted to get 3 at 285 on the bench but it wasn't happening, I'm going to try a cluster set next week, 10 reps at 270 I think will be the order of the day.  Did more pendlay rows...holy crap do those things kill my lats/rhomboids. Barely missed 250 on push pressing.  I jumped right into it with a warm up of 135, 185, then hit 225. I had been doing 205 in there, but honestly all the explosive movement just tired me out.  Did some neutral grip pullups, had never done them with the 100s, so I did it, mainly for the PR.  Jumped to incline bench, then finished with some dips.  I was exhausted, and even with a forward tilt they hurt my clavicles like crazy.
