Loose wraps = not prestretched, and I put them on without really pulling on them. So, pretty loose, just enough to know they were there. I had more in me, but hitting that PR was plenty.

Wecome to April.

March was better than February, but not what it needed to be.

Adjusting training to stay on track for long term goals: moving to a split to better train the powerlifts.

Other than that, keep on keepin' on.
