Full body: Heavy weight

Push-ups are going to be a bitch.
Power clean and press:
95 (3), 105 (1, F, 1, 1), 110 (1, F, 1), 115 (1)

No idea why, but I missed out a set. I'd meant to do a total of 5. Still, I hit the same final weight. With the failed reps I got the bar overhead, but it came straight down again. The successful reps stayed up for a couple of seconds.

======

C2B chin-ups 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
20, 22, 25, 27 (4), 27 (3)

This is an exact match for the number of reps I did last time.

======

Trap bar deadlift (reset each time)
135 x 10
175 x 5
210 x 3
225 x 3
240 x 3
245 x 3
250 x 3
255 x 3
260 x 3
265 x 3
275 x 2 (couldn't move the third rep)

This is a scaled version of one of Paul's routines. When I'm copying his leg workouts I aim for about 80% of the weight he used, and this is normally a pretty consistent scaling method. That would have meant I'd have matched Paul's (scaled) last set at 255lb, but I felt I could still lift more so I kept going. On the third rep at 275lb I simply couldn't move the weights off the ground. Still, very pleased with the final weight. I know why this is called a trap bar, now - I really felt the heavier weights in my upper back.

======

Cable row 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
130, 140, 150, 160, 170 (2)

New PR by 5lb! Not bad, considering this time it's at the end of my workout.

Really pleased with today's efforts. Good way to end the week.
