| No curls today, but so what? |
95 x 5
105 x 5
115 x 5
125 x 4
135 x 2
135 x 1
No idea why, but I felt a bit weak on these today. I benched 140lb for 1 rep earlier this month. However, back then I started the lift from my chest, whereas today the reps started with my arms locked out above me. I don't know if that makes a difference to the routine.

Trap bar deadlifts:
170 x 10
220 x 5
260 x 3
280 x 1
300 x 1
315 x 1
325 x 1
335 x 1 (new PR)
340 x 0
I increased my PR by 5lb; on December 7 I lifted 330lb. The video below shows my last two successful lifts. I reviewed the video straight after 335lb and I thought my form wasn't too bad, so I went for 340lb. However, even though I rested more than 2 minutes I still couldn't get the weight to budge. Which is just as well because I forgot to start my camera; if I'd been successful I would have been pissed that I didn't record it! The video shows my lifts at 325lb and 335lb.

Push press with hold @ 95lb
I did 5 individual 1 rep sets of these and also tried various width grips to see if that made a difference. In the end, I found that my usual grip - about an inch outside the knurling - was the one that worked best and enabled me to hold the bar overhead for the longest time.
