Notes: Mixed it up today. It was technically supposed to be a rest day, but I felt full of energy. Bench is about where it should be; paused squat was a pleasant surprise with a 20-lb increase over anything I've handled in a while. I also made the big boy jump from 225 to 315 during the ramp up. This does wonders for my confidence, which was really the point today. I wanted to get comfortable with 315 so it stops feeling so goddamned heavy all the time and psyching me out. I was very tempted to go up one more time to 345, but I promised today would be an easy squat day.
