Trained here in Houston at Cityside Crossfit. Thanks to owner Ryan Barker for being a very gracious host.
Squat
365x5, 375x5, 385x5, 395x5, 405x5
Notes: A few reps, notably at 405, were harder than I expected, but no major problems here at all. Especially considering it was my first 5x5 squat workout since September; even with the reduced load and ramping sets, sometimes 5x5 can sneak up on you. I was using mostly the really thick bumper plates, since there were some lifters doing snatches who needed the thinner, better bumpers, so there was a lot of oscillation on these reps. Probably threw me off a bit, but no problem really.
Deadlift
515x5
Notes: Not quite easy but definitely gas in the tank here. They were solid and fast. Could've gotten squoze a bit better on a rep or two, but I'm very happy about how these went. I didn't do any back-off work since I'll be traveling so much and having less controlled food intake, so I figured that combined with re-introducing 5x5 squats, I'll take it easy on pulling volume till I return to NYC. Someone asked me afterwards, "I don't mean to be a creeper, but how much weight was that?!?" I don't think anyone had pulled 515x5 there before.
Will get a video up on the DL set when it gets sent to me.
