Very interesting.

I'd take some notes as to why you slept so well during those 3 days. If nothing else, it may reveal a pattern.

last night i just couldnt clear my head. ive been using melatonin again to try and start falling asleep around 1230-1 and its been doing a pretty good job.

anyways, hit all the reps again today. weights felt easier as well. didnt really struggle until 185, 205 was tough though.

Squat- 120x10, 145x8, 160x6, 175x6, 185x6, 205x6

Dimel Deadlift- 135x15

Again, excellent work.

Here's a tip that legit works on the SQ/BP:

- Just prior to your heaviest set, load the bar with about 20% to 40%
more weight

- Perform ONE negative

- Lower it at your normal pace. Please do NOT bring it down too slow and burn up energy/glycogen etc.

- Rest a minimum of 5 min. Preferably 10, maybe more

- Perform your set

I wouldn't do this very often as its effects diminish with frequency of use (where have we heard that before?). It works along the same lines as the donut around the bat in baseball. The additional weight of that donut, once removed, increases the force/velocity curve and therefore, power.

hit all the reps again

bench- 95x10, 125x8, 140x6, 150x4, 160x4, 170x4

cable row- 120x10, 160x8, 170x6, 170x4, 170x4, 170x4

i stayed at 170 for the rows because it felt tougher than usual in the beginning. i probably should have bumped up towards the end though.

i havent weighed myself since before i maxed out. the sides of my stomach seem smaller as ive noticed i have more of a vshape (maybe my lats got bigger?) but the front of my stomach seems a little flabbier. also my chest is firmer, ive lost a good amount of fat off the bottom below my nipples.
