Left shoulder and left triceps feel a bit messed up (triceps hurt when doing CHIN UPS), so I'm going to squat today.

High Bar Squat

Belted up.

  • 460 lb x 1
    • Was kicked out of the power rack I was using. I was in the personal training area and another trainer + client needed to use the rack, so I took the York Power bar and headed over to the power racks on the other side of the gym. Ended up working in with someone else before they moved onto another power rack.
  • 480 lb x 1
  • 500 lb x 1
  • 525 lb x 1
    • +5 lb 1RM!
  • 530 lb x 1
    • Peer pressured into doing another rep and adding more weight. Only went up by 5 lb to be conservative and not miss the rep.
    • +5 lb 1RM...again!

Paused High Bar Squat

  • 410 lb x 3,3,3,3,3
    • Got some much needed volume in today.

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.
