*I only managed four reps on my first squat set, so I switched to 5×3. I'm still making progress since I managed to get 5×5 at 300 lbs. last time! Next time I deload, I'll drop back down to 305 lbs., and try for 5×5. I think I'll get it.

**I passed out! Bad! Well, it wasn't worse than any other time, but I dropped the bar from about the highest point possible. Fortunately, it seems to be fine. And I'm fine. And I became a little closer to the guy I always nod with whenever we see each other. I don't know his name, but I really appreciate him. He did tap the bar during my last rep, so technically I can't count it, but, I probably shouldn't count the one I passed out on, anyway. So I might redo this lift next time. And I'll set the safety pins higher.

It's worth noting that I did have warning signs before I lost it. I found myself on the verge of blacking out after the first reps of my first two sets. Moreover, I knew it was happening in real time. If the safety pins were higher, I might have been able to drop the bar down on them instead of the floor. So, that is what I shall do from now on.

***I knew I wasn't going to get all five reps, but I hoped I'd get at least one. However, after my last warmup set and noting how hard it was, I am not surprised by the outcome. So, it's time to deload and work back up, and once again I will find myself in the situation where I am squatting more than I am deadlifting.
