Heavy!

Only had time for two moves today.

Bench press - small bench, 6 holes; starting from top/rack
115 x 5
125 x 5
130 x 3
135 x 3
140 x 2
145 x 1
150 x 1 (PR)

======

Partial back squats (11 holes)
5 x 30% = 100lb
5 x 40% = 130lb
3 x 50% = 165lb
3 x 60% = 200lb
2 x 70% = 230lb
2 x 80% = 265lb
1 x 90% = 295lb
1 x 95% = 315lb
1 x 100% = 335lb - F

It's been nearly 10 months since I did this last, so I felt like giving this heavy lift another try. I was doing well with these but got cocky on the last squat. The weight I'd planned to aim for was 330lb, not 335lb, but I figured what the hell and added an extra 5lb. I squatted down with plenty of control, but I could only get the bar back up about two inches from the safeties. Bollocks.

hah look how long it took you to stop using that pad for squat. You almost seemed offended the one time I told you not to use it lol.

I haven't used it once since you told me to stop! Bet I'm going to have nasty bruise on my back tomorrow morning...
