    • I was planning on doing 530 lb x 3 for a 3RM, but figured I try this out first. The worst that could happen is I end up not moving the weight, seeing a bunch of stars for a few seconds, and removing plates off the bar in preparation for the next set. Didn't end up going for the 3RM. Saving my thumbs for another day.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
