Felt much better in this session that I have for the last couple.

On TTB, at this BW, that's a 5 Rep PR and a 4X4 Volume PR.  

Upped the intensity a bit more on the Eliminators than what I'd programmed for, but I'm still exploring the movement.  It's amazing how challenging the upper back so much make my legs feel so SLOW at this low of an absolute weight.

Caught a cold.  Went to the gym to see how it would go, but could tell from working up on DL that meaningful strength work wasn't going to happen today without a subpar performance that would also drive me into the ground.

Subbed in a bunch of low-stress hypertrophy work for the usual volume.

I'd been thinking about trying Incline Tate Presses instead of flat since I'm already doing JM Presses.  A buddy at the gym has been doing BB Tate Presses, and it suddenly occurred to me to try Overhead with an EZ Bar.  These actually felt pretty good, and my triceps are a bit sore the next day.
