monday squat

Didn't warm up very well, could get into position right away, so I kind of rushed it, didn't loosen up my shoulders at all, and wound up getting really sore arms because of it. I forgot that I've gained around 25 lbs, and that does make it tough to be flexible in the shoulders.

back squat
445x5
-same speed as 425, I thought maybe even a bit faster. Going to go up to 465x5 next week.

assistance
-lots of band upper back work, shoulder stretching, stick dislocations, band pull aparts, chest stretching.

I did the assistance while I was spotting Megan. I think something I need to do is go and sit down after my main movement and chill out a bit, then come back in and do some work. When I head in, I've been thinking about the workout for at least a week, and I get a little tunnel vision. Tonite, I ate a sandwhich, then came back in and spotted megan, and just did some work while I did that.

I think it might be one of the only ways I can get in the rest of the work I should be doing.

Tomorrow, I'm going to bring a band in, and spend a good 20 minutes just doing upper back stuff before I try to bench. I felt like I could have benched tonite, I may even do some pec stretching, and just keep it light.
