  • Bench Press (pinkies on knurling): 225*3 245*2 255*3 255*3
  • BB Rows: 185*3 205*3 225*3 235*2 
  • Push Press: 185*1 205*1 225*1 240*1 250*1(!!)

Back to class after spring break, I'm a bit tired today, circadian rhythm has to adjust to a shift of about 90 minutes in wake-up time.  I'll be fine within a day or two.  I got 250 on Push Press, which I'm happy with. I barely got 240, but figured I might as well go for 250 anyway, and I nailed it. SO happy. My all-time record is 255.  Rest of session I just wanted to really hammer out some weighted pullups, and do some farmers walks. Wasn't sure I was progressing on the farmer's walks, then I saw that the last time I did them with 105 I got 67 steps.  So yeah, definitely improving.

Wanted to get some more reps in with the pinky on knurling width for bench press. Also, push press is going back up.  May take a run at 275 in the coming months.

Continuing with the narrower grip bench press, wanted to get some more heavy reps in just to get used to it faster. I didn't lose nearly as much weight on the bar as I thought I would moving my grip in.  I think I could cross 300 lbs again within a couple weeks.  Also, push press weight is going back up.
