First, full, regular session back after Covid isolation.  Only tried to add 5 lbs. to the main lifts (have been adding 10).  I probably should have repeated the weight from prior sessions instead.

280 for 3+ sets of 9 is a Volume PR on Squats.  I very much wanted to stop after the 2nd set.

I then I fully hit the wall on Bench.  Top set was much harder than the same weight last week, and I was nearing failure by the 2nd volume set.

I called it there for Bench, and added 2 sets to the triceps extensions to get comparable volume for the day if not comparable training stress.

Also probably need to get back on my supplementation routine.  I fell out of the habit of my morning shake during isolation, which means I haven't been getting any creatine.
