Notes
The bar felt light as hell warming up.  I instantly knew I was pretty strong today so I decided to work up to a decent single.  I've always said: if you feel strong, lift some fucking weight.  There is way too much shit that comes up in life to forego the opportunity for a great session.  Patience and consistency is key, but a program doesn't lift the weights for you.  Lately it seems anything I try in the gym is bound to be interrupted.  So tonight was refreshing.

315 felt as light as its ever felt.  Didn't even really feel like 90%.  The guy spotting me has done a couple meets and said the bar speed was really good.  It felt good.  There was a time when I would have been like 'SLAP ON THE FUCKING WEIGHT." But fuck it.  I honestly felt like I had a good 20-30 pounds left in me, but I haven't lifting anything over 300 for months and months.  Seemed kind of stupid to go any heavier.  I'm just going to keep pounding out the higher reps as planned.  Maybe I'll hit a PR in a couple of weeks.
