I finally did it. 400lbs for five reps. Not five singles, five honest to God reps. PR, baby. Eye of the tiger.

Had to work the midnight shift. My sleep cycle was screwed up so Saturday's session didn't happen.

Started doing some glute exercises to try and deal with ITB pain. Hope I start seeing benefits soon because squatting with ITB pain isn't fun.

Tuesday, 5/30/17

Today was the fourth 12 hour shift I've worked in a row; the last two were unexpected and it started taking it's toll on me.

Squat
45x2x5
135x1x5
225x1x3
290x1x2
315x1x1
340x1x2

I widened my stance a tad to where it was more of my actual shoulder width. My warm up sets felt strong and depth was great. I hit a wall with my first actual set and struggled on my second rep. Decided not to push it.

Bench Press
45x2x5
90x1x5
135x1x3
175x1x2
215x3x5

I borderline bounced the last rep or so of the second set off my chest but otherwise these went well for my latest 5 rep PR.
