Squat

  • 385lbs: 3,1,3
    • Bar rolled forward towards my traps during the 2nd set, causing my upper body to lean forward too much.
    • 1st set felt easy. Probably could have cranked out more reps

Bench Press

  • 295lbs: 1,1,1,1,1
    • Failed on the 2nd rep of sets 2 & 3
    • 1st rep felt easy
  • 275lbs: 2

Deadlift

  • 455lbs: 3,3

Notes

Watched some Ed Coan videos on Youtube to get myself psyched up before heading to the gym.
