hi there

recap:
last thursday i went 3x5 @ 335 lbs.  i got the first set and on the second set i only got 4 reps.  it's pretty demoralizing to fail a set of squats.

on saturday, i did some power cleans working on form at 95 lbs. (5x3) and then i did a metcon of on the minute for 12 minutes, do 115 power cleans x2 plus kb swings for the remainder of the minute. 

monday was passover and i knew i'd have trouble finding the time to get a workout in.  i had a pound of beef for lunch and was feeling really good around 6pm when i normally workout (would've gone for 335 again), but i had to go to the seder.  after eating about another pound of brisket and getting home at 10pm, i worked out until 11.  because of the time etc., i decided to just reset dropping ~10% off my previous squat day and doing 3x5 @ 300 lbs.  without doing much of a warmup, it felt pretty easy.  then i pressed 3x5@ 140 lbs. 

something to open up to the group...my shoulders have been hurting pretty bad after every set of low bar squats.  i do a pretty decent amount of mobility on my shoulders and feel like i might benefit from trying high bar.  i don't want to give up on the low bar yet, but is it possible i don't have the bar resting on my back enough and that i'm using my shoulders too much to keep the weight of the bar up?  that's what i think may be happening.  i'll try to have more tilt in my torso, but any other ideas?

also i got knee wraps.  i likey.
