I ended up doing quite a bit of volume today, but I really wasn't feeling strong at all. I felt great on squats earlier in the week, but was depleted (and feeling it) here.
I've decided against doing the Master's nationals, but I've kept on the diet for the most part, so my weight is down quite a bit--sitting in the low to mid 260s right now (compared to my peak of the high 280s in the spring).
As usually happens when I diet, my squats go up (I feel better in the squat when I'm not so bloated and tight in the midsection), but my bench goes down--especially when I'm depleted.
Today is a high carb day though so hopefully deadlifts will go better than bench did.
