* was at gym and dared a lifting buddy to do another double on 315 after i saw him doing a good grind on his last double. he agreed only if i attempt 495 when he gets the set. peer pressure. lol. my 405 was more explosive than usual so i did not hesitate on the dare. i was a lot more tense than i had to. the rep was very fast. the preworkout 200kcal mini meals i've been doing for the pass few days added good mass to my bw. i'm back to 204lb again and still leanish. it was a good day.

* doing the light-medium exercises without counting the total sets anymore. i jump from one hand to the other hand, then to the next movement without stopping. not rushing but no breaks aside from little water sips and reconfiguring the cable station. i rotated with 4 movements today and did them for almost 40 mins. did not even sweat. all paused reps with full ROM.
