Notes: ONOZ, I gained a pound!  After a bit more eating and adult beverage indulgence, a pound ain't so bad.  On the plus side, no missed reps other than a shallow 3rd squat @290 on Friday -- which I didn't count -- requiring a quick legit 3rd rep after a few seconds to ask a friend if I'd hit decent depth.

Notes:  Weight crept up a pound over the weekend, probably just water weight from indulging my wife for Thai take-out last night.  Otherwise, it was a nice, easy de-load week.  Second cycle starts today, with 60% (i.e. heavier) assistance lifts.
