Crazy high energy coming into the gym today.  No idea why.  It was to the point I had to actively keep myself calm early in the workout so that I wouldn't hit a wall later (something that used to happen to me frequently).

Safety Squats were eeeeezzzzzz.  After last week's session, coach had indicate to take the same weight or chip, and so I held to that.  After watching today's video, he said to take today's final weight as my first ramping weight next week.

Close-grips were ok.  We've been working on technical issues with my leg drive.  Still a work in progress.

DL was also really easy.  Again, instruction was to repeat last week's weight, but I still went up a little.  After seeing video, he called for +~20 lbs. next week.
