Final week of isometrics was a good one.  Was very happy with my pauses on squat and bench day, increasing each from the week before and positionally feeling better and more stable.

Friday's max effort squatting was awesome.  I was able to hit some solid numbers with all those chains and not break position.  Bench day on Saturday was a bit all over the place.  I worked up heavy then we realized we (Anto) wanted more chain deload.  So I adjusted the chain and took another single.  It went really well and he told me to go up 5 pounds.... but I felt I could go up 10 based on how easy 190 was......... aaaaaaaand I was wrong.  I should've known better than to jump that much on a ME bench day.

Oh well, one more set at 190 that was solid and done.  Good week and ready for what's coming up next week which will be all kinds of fun stuff.
