Even after 3 warm up sets with 135lb I was still too tight to feel comfortable. I still ended up going up to 405lb for a set of 10, but I didn't have my belt or knee wraps (they're in my truck...which is in the shop 2 hours away) and my knees were taking the brunt of the strain of my tightness, so I decided to change up my plans and go a little higher volume with the superset work on leg extensions and leg press. I was really struggling with appetite later in the day and ended up only getting 7 meals in. It should still be enough calories to fuel some growth, but with limited time until I need to start my prep for the Master's Nationals and a lot of work to do in that limited time, I need to make sure I get all those meals down.
