Squat
- 365lbs: 3,2
Over Head Press
- 185lbs: 3
- 205lbs: 1
Deadlift
- 415lbs: 3,3
Notes
- Squats still feel rather difficult after a 1 week layoff and moving to another time zone.
- 205lbs overhead press was easy, not much of a struggle to get it up. Probably could have cranked out another rep.
A somewhat crappy workout. Maybe those Muay Thai sessions are affecting my recovery. But nonetheless, still hit a few PR's!
- I planned for 5 sets of 3 for power cleans, but could only crank out 2 reps for 3 sets. Then 1 rep for 2 sets. I'm thinking I need to work on my technique still...can't seem to stomp and rack at the same time.
- It was member appreciation day at my gym and they were serving snacks. I ate 4 chocolate balls during my squat warm up. Felt a bit of a stomach ache after and this affected my squat numbers. Tried 195 kg (429lbs) but it just went down and never got back up.
- My goal was to hit a 500lbs deadlift before I head back to Canada (currently living in Bangkok, Thailand). My previous PR (last week) was 217.5 kg (478.5lbs) and I only had 2 deadlift workouts left. I figured the best way to add more weight to the deadlift really fast is to do it in socks. And it worked!
- Bodyweight after workout: 87.5 kg (192.5lbs). I think I'm losing weight since I'm not eating a bag of chips everyday.

Notes
- Form on the power cleans felt sloppy, but it got up anyway.
- Got a little too greedy going for a new PR press. So greedy I tired myself out and missed a person record! Had to settle for 92.5 kg (203.5lbs) for 2 sets of 2 reps.
- Didn't feel 100% today...Lacking the aggressive energy that I usually have on PR Fridays :/
