Squat

• 315lbs: 5,5

Push Press

• 225lbs: 3,3
• Felt a lot easier than previous weeks
• I was able to lower the weight in a controlled fashion (whereas previous weeks it would come crashing down)
• I made a conscious effort to utilize my calves to assist me during the push portion of the lift

Pull Ups

• Body weight (189.5lbs): 8,8,8

Notes

• My right knee was sore today because this past weekend I was stepping up and down a step ladder a million times (I was installing curtains. First time in my life installing curtains, and almost every time I stepped up, I forget tools, screws or something else, so I had to step down and find it, and then step back up. It was like a really bad aerobics step class). Because of this, I decided to do back squats instead of front squats, which, at least for me, is less stressful on the knees.
• Right knee felt fine after doing ass-to-grass low bar back squats.
