Squat
- 425lbs: 2
- Planned on performing only 1 rep, but since the first one was easy I contemplated going for another. I ended up thinking about for a few seconds and started to see stars. Still made the 2nd rep.

Bench Press
- 300lbs: 2,2,1
- Failed attempting 2nd rep on the last set
Good Mornings
Squat
- 405lbs: 3,3
- I noticed the bar had a noticeable bend after my first set. After the second set, I checked the other bars in the gym that I regularly use, and they were all slightly bent. I don't recall seeing this when I first started training at this gym...
Press
- 215lbs: 2,2,X
- 205lbs: 1
- My presses were lopsided for some reason. Left arm was higher than my right arm, and my body was leaning in one direction. This made my back feel strange. I didn't hurt, just felt weird.
Deadlift
- Skipped - I didn't want to aggravate this strange feeling I was having in my back from doing overhead presses.
