Notes on today's training session:

We started at ten am, and we went past 2:30 before we finished up our training today.  I'm learning this single ply Titan Super centurion suit and it is going well.  The 650 today was a 15 pound personal record over my 635 squat from the SSA Imperium meet (where I squatted 635 in a wrestling singlet and single ply Titan briefs).  The straps up really increase the pressure to my head area, but from the extra conditioning I have been doing it was much easier to take and hold my air with the straps up as opposed to my last free squat.

After squatting I was spent, I brought along some G2 to help with some replenishment before we pulled.  Someone brought along some danish, and I ate some of that too to get something in my system.  Our squat session went over 3 hours today.

We tweaked the Coan - Phillipi program a little, and it went quite well.  I let one of my singles at 565 get away from me, but I got it up on the next one.  I've gotten better at the deficit pulls and I was able to make all 3 triples without a problem.

Tomorrow:  Raw bench work and volume assistance at the World Gym
