Had a busy weekend, both with training and spotting and loading for a women's PL meet at my gym.  Had a great time at the meet, but was totally beat afterwards.  Had to come in for this session the next day.  My coach had also worked the meet, and he thought this would be a good opportunity to back off the volume weight just a touch, as we're also taking Intensity lifts down to triples.  To paraphrase him, "chances are, you won't get substantially stronger between now and the meet.  Now we want to make sure the strength you've developed is there on meet day."

So Volume Squats get reduced 10 lbs., and Volume Bench gets reduced by 2.5.

The 340X3 was heavy as hell, and slow going on the final rep.
