Another great session; got the 275 cluster fairly easily, took a tad longer than I wanted to, but still averaged about 45 seconds between reps.  Absolutely love these cluster reps.  Next week is the real test, going for 285 and a cluster of 10 again. I feel like the 275 this week was only marginally more difficult than the 265 last week, which I absolutely smoked, so we shall see.  BB Rows went odd, my back felt pretty fatigued for some reason.    I'm calling standing presses behind the head 'behind the neck presses' which I guess is the standard name for them.  Anyway it was odd doing them for the first time in a while, hopefully I put up better numbers next week.  Despite not liking standard standing presses very much, they're what I'm used to now.   Did some neutral grip pullups, had a bit of a pain in my left elbow while doing them, it felt almost bruised.  It's fine now, but I'll keep an eye on it.  The session was getting a bit long, so I did a couple sets of landmine lateral rasies and scooted.  Really love these things, I know I say it every week, but I really really love them.   Also, weight is at 204 right now.  That should start going down a bit more now that I'm sprinting again.
