Thanks!

A bit of a funny story, I was on the last set of squats last night, on the negative a mosquito landed right near my eye and proceeded to snack on me. Like c'mon, be a gracious mosquito and wait til the set is done, don't fuck with me getting my swole on.

I finished strong with hate in my heart, calmly racked the bar and turned it into a smear of blood on my face.

I got all caveman up in this workout, and crushed numbers.

I made a mistake while talking to my children who were watching and ended up putting an extra 70lbs on the bar, kept talking and then added a further 40lbs when I forgot about that 70 I just put on.
Needless to say, I lifted the bar off the rack thinking it was supposed to be 265 which I can easily do and thought 'what the fuck?! Man that extra bit of weight is killing me, I feel weak! Should I have started lower? Okay fuck it, I can do this, I do this weight all the time'
. I proceeded to scream and rage on the positive of each squat til done. It wasn't until I started to check the plates after that, that I realized I just annihilated my PR. I felt 'lighter' after that set. lol


Time: 1 hour, 5 mins -10 min break after my squats, I was gassed due to the error in weight adding.
