Notes
Lifted with my old training partner Chris tonight.  It was a ton of fun being back at the old gym seeing everyone.  UNFORTUNATELY, Matt decided to deload this week.  I saw him there though so it was still cool.

Weight this morning: 229.  Weight at gym with all my clothes off: 231.2.  I did not plan on going heavy in anything really, but lifting with Chris brought it out of me.  After being severely sick, he was ripping 495 triples like it was nothing.  It didn't hurt that John Calderelli (903 raw squat) was watching me pull.  Having a bunch of strong mother fuckers around tends to pump me up.

I was pretty pleased with my strength.  Considering I've been coasting with 2x a week sessions, 495 for a double and triple isn't bad.  Looking back, in the last month my deadlifting usually consisted of a couple sets of 365x5.  Basically, I just took it easy and got quality reps in.  No progression, no programming, just doing the movement.  I came in well rested and was able to pull some decent reps tonight.
