Definitely lost a little in my week off, but not much. 120# squats were not quite as easy as last time. Struggled more than I thought with the 90# benches, but discovered the reason for that when I unloaded the bar after my work sets: I had put a 5-lb plate instead of a 2.5-lb plate on the right side of the bar. So not only was I lifting 92.5# instead of 90#, I was lifting an unbalanced load. Guess I should feel lucky I didn't hurt myself.

Cash out: Weighted pull-ups 2 x 5 x 10#
