A very successful Pause Squat wave.  We'll see how it translates to comp Squat starting next week.

Took some doing to get in a position on the adjustable benches where I could do smooth reps on incline extensions without hitting something.  Once I did, they are starting to feel more stable.  Lots of room for these to improve.  Unlike OH Extensions, these don't really ever feel relaxed at the bottom because of tension at the shoulder.

Felt pretty confident after last week that I would be able to grab a couple of Pause Squat PRs.  However, the 295X3 was a bit tougher than I'd have liked, so I dropped back to 275 for the remaining back-offs.

I don't do incline triceps extension very often because whenever I do, they feel weirdly unstable and challenging.  Wondering if I should just back the weight off and see if I can get to a point where multiple variations feel stable and smooth.

Sleep has been rough, and humidity is high so I didn't really want to do any of this today.  But Pause Squats felt good.  Kept elbows down and chest up, but still need to stay back on my heels better.
