Sweet squat PR. Looks like that pull-fest a couple days ago didn't hamper you at all.

I would suggest you try to calm down from the workout, lest you not get to sleep until 3 a.m. But until you get that new bed, sleep might be the last thing your back needs.

Hell yah!! Thanks... looking forward to lots of those PR's hopefully
Right! I wasn't drained at all from the pull fest... i've been feeding well to aid recovery

LOL! Yeah, seriously... I'm pretty relaxed right now, just ate a few times already... whey and h20 right away... then 1.5 chicken breasts and wild cajun rice... and 3 FRESH cookies

Exactly... friggin' bed gots a hole in the middle basically. One, large dip/hamocking (sp?) in the matress from my fat ass over the years, lol. and when I sleep face down my back get sucked into the hole when i wander over while i'm sleeping to get comfortable and i wake up like "ahhhh SHIT... " and feelin' like an old man ... That new non-spring matress (not supposed to "hammock"/dip like spring ones over time) better be here friday or ima hurt somebody.
