Notes
Decent session.  I knew going in I was just going to do the prescribed reps and keep everything moderate.  I was very sore from Fridays session.  Not only did I do a bunch of fatiguing high rep sets, but I also had one less day to rest than normal (gym closed on the 4th).

Additionally, I'm just starting to feel a little beat up.  I'm only lifting 2x a week, but its week 5 of progressively heavier lift.  Also, I'm still running, golfing, etc 7 out of 7 days a week.

Which brings up a recent decision.  No Tough Mudder.  Its too much.  I cant lift, try to get better at golf, train for a 12 mile race, and also study for the bar.  It was just stressing me out and making me feel like shit since I was only running 2x a week and squeezing in some other half assed cardio here and there.  I'm a little sad I won't get the benefit of all the aerobics, but whatever.  You have to make decisions about what is important.  Also, 5-6 mile walks with a bag on your back multiple times per week certainly doesn't hurt your  aerobic base.  Yes, its very low intensity, but the heartrate is still elevated.

I'm probably going to stop logging the golf stuff. I dunno.  If I'm not lifting during the week, I'm golfing.

Edit:  About the lifts.  455 didn't feel heavy but it was choppy. Same with 170 on BTN press.
