ya... well everything felt heavy lol - just one of those days but hey its only week 4, so i need to remember this. Deload is next week so im looking forward to that - one thing i did notice is, I think i am more of a high hip puller - as you can see in the drop offs of the 1.5" deficits, felt much tighter, faster, stronger (of course its alot letss weight but it felt good.)

[EliteDreams]

Big and strong. Yeah buddy!
