My schedule is all jerked around this week, so I tried combining Squat and Bench into one day.

Squat was pretty terrible.  I got 235X13 last week, but could only get 245X6 this week.  Oh well, at least I added the volume control to make sure that I get around the same amount of total work-set volume each week.

High-Bar sets were fine.

Bench was also pretty shitty, but mostly because my shoulder started hurting on the empty bar warm-up.  It started to feel a little better as things went along, but between the shoulder and the fatigue from squatting, it was a blah day for bench.

I did manage to up another tail-end set of CG bench to 5 reps.  Actually the first few sets of CGX3 felt stronger than the last set of regular benchX3.  Interesting...
