Texas, week 14, volume
Warm-up:
back squat (triples to 185#)
3x5 back squat (230, [dnf last rep])
5x5 bench press (145, [f last rep])
1x5 deadlift (w/ straps, 335)
Crappy session. Lack of focus and shorting the rests resulted in shitty lifting. The squats should have been 5x5, but after I didn't attempt the last rep of the third set, I decided I wasn't in any shape to finish. I don't think this is a stall, but I'll run 3x5x230 next week. Missed bench rep was from failing to rest, but I'll stay at this weight next week as well. At least the deadlifts felt fine, that can go up 10# next week.

Nice job on the weight, it's getting up there!
With the straps, how much weight do you actually load on your grip?
Hmmmm, good question. The straps I have allow two full wraps around the bar, and then you pin the end with the heel of your palm. You just need to keep that from slipping, and you're ok. I guess it relieves the load enough that any failures will be the fault of my legs and back rather than my forearms.
