•  SSB Box Squat: 205/225/245/265x3/285x13 PR!
  • Bent Row: 135/185/205/225/245x5
  • FBB Bench: 5x10@95
  • BB Shrugs: 5x10
  • Hammer Row: 2x25

I felt really tight and had trouble warming up.  Guess I was ready to train because 285x13 is an all-time post-surgical PR.  I went back and looked.

This was pretty cool because I think it's going to help me stay focused long term.  Without purposely trying to sound like a douche bag... The weight felt great.  My lungs/heart rate were the reason I stopped the set.  I felt great - barely breathing through rep 10.  Rep 11 and 12 were a whole different story.  Much like pushing the Prowler... Those who have truly pushed it know that you can finish 20-40 yards, stand up, take a few steps and think to yourself, " Wow, that wasn't bad at all..."  Right as those words pop into your head your body betrays you and you get dizzy, light-headed, maybe nauseous...  Well, that's what happened at rep 11-12.

So, now I want to Squat 3 plates for 10 reps (new goal).  In order to do this I think I need to get myself in great condition.  If I can Squat 285x20 then 335x10 should be a joke - theoretically.  Not a completely logical thought, but I'm going back to something I've heard Wendler say about Benching 500bs.  Paraphrased: if you want to Bench 500, make sure you can Bench 450x10.  Makes complete sense to me.

Anyway, good day in the weight room.
