My car broke down last week and we had shiteous weather, so it seemed like a good time to take a few days off and rest up. Back at it yesterday, and with a double session today, after yet another f*cking blizzard yesterday.  Benching I tried putting my pinkies on the knurling instead of my pointers, bringing my grip in a couple inches on each side.  Didn't effect me as much as I thought, and I definitely felt it a bit more in my triceps.  Probably would've had 305 if I hadn't squatted first.

Good times, still hanging around 390 on squatting, haven't really ramped to a PR recently, probably will try in a few weeks.

Kept it light for once on deadlifts.  Did more of a lead up with snatches and more reps at lower weight. I don't think it really improved my weights on the last couple sets as you can see, but I was much more explosive on those lighter weights, it's fun.  Did more standing calves here, I didn't work them as much as I had wanted during the bulk so far. Need to finish with more work there over the next month.

IT bands were ridiculously tight here, they just did not want to let go.  Good Mornings are going well too, really keeping form tight and seeing rewards now with weights approaching what I was doing before with sloppier form.  Also loving farmers walks.

I guess snatch-grip deadlifts didn't really do much for my overall deadlift weight. I could've gotten 500 or 505 if I wanted to really push it, but no need right now.  Rest of session went good, was pretty tired.  I guess snatch-grip deadlifts probably transfer over to the snatch more than anything.  Such is life.

Good stuff, really like keeping good mornings lighter like this and locking down my form.  Also rotating in calf presses, I want to work on them this bulk.
