-notes-
Back was still fatigued and I lost 385 completely. I gave up and put on the belt and also got volume because my right quad needs the practice. Did a few paused singles afterward (still with belt this time) to reinforce getting tight and mastering the weight. I am reminded that paused squats are arguably the best assistance there is for the back squat. Nearly died after second set of leg press--truly a gut-busting movement when done for full range and for reps, much like the squat. And I was starving afterward.
