WELL, swapping back to the straight bar after using only the cambered all this year proved to be a shock to the system! In a way it was a good thing - I wasn't intending to use the barbell tonight. It was just there, already set up. So I went with it, and on 160 I managed one pained squat and felt like I was gonna collapse. 

Too much too soon perhaps. Because I dropped it down and worked my way back up to what turned out to be PR territory for reps, and well above my previous efforts with a straight bar, last year. 

But still well off the 200 kilo 1RM I might have had in me today... with the cambered bar.

Rest tomorrow, thank the spaghetti monster. Then bench focus Wednesday, with possibly a little more OHP thrown in.
