SlingShot bench press (Reactive) 335 lbs. x 6, 315 lbs. x 6, 305 lbs. x 6

Not sure why my program spreadsheet called for 335x8 on the top set, as I'm nowhere near those numbers. I might have been able to get seven reps, but that would have been an all-out effort. Especially since today was a total feel-like-shit day. Maybe I was planning to use the Original SlingShot when I made the spreadsheet, but I don't usually do that this early in the training cycle. Maybe that's what I'll do next time.

Seated cable row 4s x 8

EZ bar curl 5s x 8

Incline bench flyes 4s x 8 - nice change from barbell presses

Two-DB tricep extensions 4s x 12

Squat 405 lbs. x 4, 425 lbs. x 4, 445 lbs. x 4, 405 lbs. x 4

Today I ate two crispy buttermilk chicken sandwiches from Mickey D's before squatting. Felt like shit, but the squats were effortless. No wonder powerfatties eat like this all the time. Also I eat Golden Arches food maybe twice a year on average, so if I ate it all the time I'd get diminishing returns, plus maybe the 'beetus? Used belt and wraps on all sets except the last back-off with 405 (belt only).

Close-stance squat 275 lbs. 3s x 5

Hack squat 2s x 15 - used a slightly higher weight than usual, but didn't get the usual 20 reps

Leg extension 3s x 8-10
