5x325 @ 9
5x325 @ 10
I'm having some trouble hitting depth with a belt. I tend to judge my depth by two things: (1) how far above the safety bars the bar is (my bad, my bad), and (2) how tight my hips are at the bottom, with most of my attention on (2). The belt has thrown my ability to judge hip tightness out the window. I think that only 60-80% of the squats in the above sets hit depth.

Deficit Deadlifts (Red and Green, roughly 4")
4x412 @ 8
4x412 @ 8
4x412 @ 9
4x412 @ 9
4x412 @ 9
4x412 @ 10
I started getting really tired toward the last few sets and hitched just a tad on my very last rep. Everything else felt pretty solid.

Pistols: 2x8
Ab Wheel: 6, 5, 5

11/1: RTS Volume, Bench

Bench Press
5x245 @ 9
5x245 @ 10
5x240 @ 9
5x240 @ 10
5x235 @ 10
Didn't feel great going to the gym, so basically every set was a struggle, but at least I hit every rep, though I had to adjust the weight. My left elbow is still giving me problems. I'll be taking lots of fish oil tonight.

Pause Dumbbell Bench
4x95 @ 8
4x95 @ 8
4x95 @ 10
4x95 @ 8
4x95 @ 9
4x95 @ 9
Felt solid except for the third set, when the dumbbell fell out of its normal path.

Cable Row: 4x8@190
Military Press: 6, 6, 6, 5 @ 145
I decided to go for fewer reps and slightly higher weight on the military press because high reps kill me.
