Push press with hold for as long as possible - 3 sets of 3 @ 95, resetting each time
Warm-up: 60, 70, 80
This started off well, but got tough very quickly. I'd spent a decent amount of time warming up - a couple of rounds of slow Cindy - as I was still feeling a little sore after Saturday's workout. By the first rep of the third set the bar was pretty much coming down as soon as I locked out overhead.

I hadn't planned on doing heavy deadlifts today, but decided to at the last minute. Glad I did.
Deadlifts:
135 x 10
165 x 6
185 x 5
205 x 3
225 x 1
245 x 1
265 x 1
275 x 1
285 x 1
295 x 1
305 x 1
310 x 1
315 (F)
315 x 1
Don't know why I decided to have a second attempt at 315 after failing the first time, as I usually quit after I fail. Anyway, this is the first time I've done conventional deadlifts with 3 x 45lb plates on each side of the bar. Considering how I felt in earlier, lighter rounds, I didn't think I was going to set a PR today. From 275lb onwards my head was spinning from the blood rush, which doesn't usually start that soon! Good end to the day.
I'll have a rest day tomorrow because of my workload, then back to the gym on Wednesday.

ahh shit you used the bar that only weighs 40 pounds, this wasnt actually 315......HAH just joking, did you look? Nice lift!
I know you could kick my ass from now until Christmas, but... YOU BASTARD! :-)
The bar had the rounded ends, so I assumed it was 45lb. Did I miscalculate? If so, it's still a PR, but only 310lb.
Hah did you miss the "just joking" I added there? That was a clear three hundred fifteen pounds.
Damn my senility! Now my eyesight is joining my memory...
