Called it a night there. I have sparring today and couldn't risk my back pain regressing to what it was last week, nor do I want to get sore from doing drop-sets.

Felt light. Night and day difference from the last several weeks of squatting now that I've gotten a little bigger. Much more stable during the walkout and descent. I look forward to pushing myself on the reps next time. My abs are blurrier but waist is still trim, and though this isn't consistent with my usual pre-breakfast morning weigh-in, the scale read 200 lbs the other day.

I had a good night of sleep up until 5am. I've been closing my bedroom door due to my sister and her dogs visiting to keep out the noise, so my cat ended up peeing in my bed. 100% my fault, as he had no way of going out to do his business and I was naive just because he usually sleeps through the night with me and goes pee in the morning. After putting out the soiled sheets and flipping my mattress over, I managed to get another 30 minutes of sleep before my alarm, but I woke-up with a bit of a headache. Not great circumstances on sparring day, but it won't hold me back. And if piss and vinegar make for aggressive energy, I've already got the piss part taken care of.
