notes:
-noticed while stretching I had extreme flexibility compared to what is typical for me. not sure why this happened, but I went from decent flexibility to being able to hug my legs in the toe touch strength, I’ll be curious if it sticks or what caused it
-was overthinking on the 225s. just cleared my mind, mechanics Ive been practicing came thru for me, though legs still spraying out to approx. rack width, still want to always catch in a position that I could drop down into a full squat, won’t go above 225 til I can do that. pretty much got crushed by the 365, but I came through big on the pc and felt easy on the first 315. Probably couldve gotten at least 1 rep if I wasn’t concentrating on so much on catching the bounce (knew that was the only way I could possibly get 4 reps), but descent ended up being too quick, didn’t hit a good position at parallel and just kept going down til the spotting bars at about full squat depth (and no way I could make 365 from there anyways)
-a bit dehydrated, unsure if weight drop is due to this, or I noticed a tightening on my abdominal region, much flatter stomach, but I never really had much external fat. Now I literally cant pinch anywhere and feel fat, just skin. funny how I’ve been trying to add fat, pounding carbs and high calories, yet I’m lower than ever? shirts and pants fitting tighter than ever, too, so I definitely have seen muscle gains
