Solid session.  The double at 265 was fast.

225X5 is an all-around PR on Pause Squats.  Didn't even occur to me coming into the gym that would be the case.

185X12 on High Bars is only 3 reps off of my best, which was set fresh at the start of a workout.  Getting that close to my best after all the low barring feels solid.

Hacks suck, and seemed to be aggravating my lower back.  Try again next week.

At the end of this session I probably had the biggest quad pump I've ever had.  It felt like my legs wouldn't bend properly at the knee.  Had trouble getting to sleep that night because my quads felt so "tightened up" that I had to lay on my side with my legs folded back to get any relief.
