Holy hell was it humid at the gym today. Ridiculous. Everything felt heavy as hell on my back; 225 felt the same as 455. Regardless, I ground out the reps needed. Kept volume light on front squats this week, but they felt good despite my back being ‘done’ and using straps. Straps makes fronts quite a bit harder for me as I don’t keep the bar in as tight so my back has to work harder to stay vertical. PR with strap grip. Did some roll-outs and hit the stationary bike for a bit. Good workout overall.
