Squat

Warmup

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 97.5lbs: 5
  • 137.5lbs: 5
  • 187.5lbs: 3
  • 227.5lbs: 3
  • 317.5lbs: 2
  • 367.5lbs: 3

Main Set

  • 345lbs: 5,5,5
    • Low back pain while squatting, so I'm cutting it off at 3 sets.

Overhead Press

Warm Up

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 72.5lbs: 5
  • 97.5lbs: 5
  • 137.5lbs: 3
  • 162.5bs: 2

Main Set

    • Exhausted. Dammit.
    • Didn't power clean the weight into position today. Want to take it easy on my low back.
    • Wore super stiff new belt (Inzer 13mm lever belt). Feels ok while pressing, but can't do a full ROM squat in it yet. Need to break it in.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
