Notes
I finished last mesocycle with a 455x3 squat. Considering my weightloss, I'll take 455x2 any day of the week. I had no expectations tonight other than "I hope I feel good enough to go over 405."  I'm down 21 pounds, so my leverages in squat have totally changed.  Felt pretty good at 405, so I decided to throw the knee wraps on  and move up.  455x2 was a true max. Just keeping my squat

Nice RDL PR for my last Monday night of the mesocycle.  I'm not entirely sure how much carry over I'm getting out of these.  I was a little wary going for a  heavy PR. At some point these must impact Thursday deadlifts, but my approach is just to take this stuff one day at a time while dieting.  I felt good, so I went for the PR.  It is both a rep and weight PR.
