Last night I dreamed that all the benches at my gym were gone. Or rather it looked like they were still there, but when I tried to use them I saw they'd been replaced with flimsy IKEA-looking furniture. Woke up at 3AM and couldn't go back to sleep for an hour. Fortunately the benches were all still there when I went to the gym.
I don't know what this is supposed to signify. Probably a subconscious fear of lack of gyms while I'm traveling and consequent loss of gainz.

I was pretty sick today so didn't lift. Symptoms came out of nowhere - tiredness, muscle and joint aches and chills - and departed just as quickly. I was feeling 100% by next morning.

Squat 405x3 425x3, 445x3, 475x3, 445x3
My gym got one of those newfangled powerlifting belts all the cool kids use these days. I tried it out (used it for the 405 set and the second 445 set) and holy crap does it make a difference. It's like bracing your midsection against a wall. I finally understand why some claim that using a belt weakens your core. Nice enough, but I think I'll stick to my cheap made in Pakistan belt.
