      Hi Murph

      So this weekend I went off program and ended up hitting a bench PR for 175. I 100% know it was wrong to go off program and do this but I had had an awful week and the heavy bench day was the best thing I could think of to relieve the stress. I wanted to know how it looked, I thought it was pretty decent but always looking to improve.

      This morning I squatted with chains and I feel like the first one was actually not bad but the rest were high. Wanted to see what you thought.

      Thanks a lot and hope you’re well.

      Squats were nice and deep but had a little dump.
      Think about driving your back into the bar on the way up.

      As far as the off program part.
      I can’t condone it.
      At least you got a PR out of it.
      I highly suggest staying on program going forward.
      The temporary satisfaction of hitting an off program PR versus the recovery issues later on…….not worth it to me.
