* slept 11:30am-2:30pm. woke up and it felt like i just did 4-6hrs of sleep. felt so awake already. this is not going to be easy at ~4-8:30am tmrw.
* i am very strong right now. was still a bit afraid of the 455x1 as the 4 1/2 plates looks really massive for somebody who looks sub 200lbs, even if this will be my 17th single already. did this 455x1 again with a strict pause, just like how i do every other weight now. the 475x1 goal suddenly becomes realistic again. will still complete my 455x1 - 24 total reps.
* squats - i may have improved my form a little by really focusing on using my head as a counterweight - pushed forward, look straight and up a little.. whenever i feel stiff from too much sleep, i will rep out x8-10 BW 1/2 squats (bottom half mostly). without any weight on my back, i have to stretch my arms forward, torso and head pushed forward too, otherwise, the lowerback will be strained. i do them slowly for the first couple of reps, then just bounce around when i get loose.
* i will vid my 455x1 strict pause next week.
