* 370/10 is a lifetime PR. The bar was slipping out of my hands during the last rep. I barely made it. I also don't think I've ever done 85's/9 on the incline, either, so this was a great session!

* Eh workout. Got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night. Not an awful performance, I suppose, considering. 
* On another note, I had an A++ workout at bootcamp last night. 
* Next week is another deload week. Two months in, I like how 531 and bootcamp are complementing each other.
