* added 225-275 to the warmup to get the reps smoother faster. the 405 is still not very heavy but il be going all out to get a 440. 425 is still ok. months ago, a 455 would still be a warmup single at 210+bw. i'm 198-202 right now waking up.
* have the apple watch for almost a week now to track heart rate. numbers looking good with still a lot of fat left to burn. im 198lb 12-15%right now. il be in the 8-10%BF at low 190s/high 180s

* getting consistent now on cardio and keeping a target of about 75-80%HR 15mins daily. i tried doing a 5mph with the same 5% incline walking pace for a few minutes and it was getting too intense for my goals. 4.2-4.3 is a good leisure pace without it feeling like a near max effort in a matter of minutes.
* squats still alright even at 198lb. when i was strongest, i was still able to get 445 at 170lb bw. its not a daily routine but still a good benchmark.
