    • Didn't feel so easy, but I'll go for 405 anyways
  • 405 x 0
    • Maybe I should have went for 400 😐

Paused Bench Press

  • 375 x 1
    • Wanted 2. My chest and triceps are feeling sore already! Might have blew my load trying to get 405.
  • 350 x 0
    • Yeah feels like my muscles are ripping apart. Time for plan B (or C or D).

Sumo Deadlift (No Belt)

  • 140 x 5
  • 230 x 3
  • 320 x 2
  • 410 x 1
  • 500 x 1 * PR!
    • Technically a 1RM. Moved fast, so I'm going to slap on a belt and do more.

Sumo Deadlift

  • 570 x 1 * PR!
    • Only a +5 lb PR but haven't deadlifted in a while, so I'll take it!
    • Bar felt like it was too forward (away from my shins), but I just kept on pulling.

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.
