  • Thought it would be tougher because I haven't squatted too heavy lately (I think). Not too bad.

• 320 x 1
• 370 x 1

  • Set up didn't feel right but went for it anyways.
  • Might have slipped on the bench, or my body slipped inside my shirt. Also, my back kinda cramped.
  • Probably a better idea to go for (bigg(er)) PR's on Monday's after a 2 day break while my back muscles are fresh instead of the day after front squats. I find leg drive and maintaining a tight arch is back cramp inducing.

Reverse Grip Bench Press

• 370 x 1
  • Missed on the 2nd rep.
  • Haven't done touch and go benches in a while. Not accustomed to the immediate change in direction. Seems harder compared to paused bench presses.

  • Didn't feel too explosive during the warm ups leading up to the 1RM. But noticed my son doing something cute so I had extra motivation to get this PR so I can post up a video of him (could upload had I missed, but getting the rep is better).
  • Felt surprisingly easy.
• 330 x 4
