Was planning on going for 605 but 565 looked and felt like shit. It was extremely hot and humid in the gym (hottest squat day this training cycle) and that contributed to me feeling fatigued and not being able to get the suit legs seated right. My legs were going numb and I felt drained so I shut it down. Not exactly where I want my squat to be going into this meet.

*Woke up with pain in right shoulder this morning, difficult to raise arm overhead. Suspecting impingement, not sure of cause (maybe I slept on it funny). Decided to skip any pulling movements and do high-rep, low-weight shoulder work to stimulate bloodflow, as well as using ice and meds to reduce inflammation.
