    Squat @ 415 lbs- 1. Pretty tough. I tried a slightly wider stance on this set and next set and it seems to make it harder so I'll stick with the medium stance.
    Squat @ 350 lbs-4,4,4,6. Tough last set.

    Paused squats off pins @ 225 lbs- 5,5,5. Tough and tiring.

    Hang. Leg Raises- 8,8,8. Very tired by this point.

    Bodywt @ 222 lbs

    Squat @ 445 lbs -1. (unwrapped) PR. This was tough but much easier than 440 lbs 2 weeks ago. I attribute it to a closer stance and looking down instead of straight ahead. I had let my heavy squats get a little too wide for me.
    Squats @ 352 lbs-4,4,4,5. Pretty tough by last set.

    Pause squats off pins @ 230 lbs- 5,5,5. Tough and tiring.

    Hang leg raises-9,9,7. Exhausted by this point with sore lats.

    Thanks- this 4 x 4 program has really helped me keep moving the weights.

    Bench @ 345 lbs- 1. PR. Pretty tough and it seemed like I had another 5 lbs I could add to this.
    Bench @ 270 lbs-4. This was a misload.
    Bench @ 272 lbs-4,4,7. Tough by last set.

    Close grip bench @ 195 lbs- 10,10,10. Very tough by last set.

    Dips w/ 45 lbs- 13, 12, 9. I was rushed due to time constraints and didn't get enough rest between sets. My triceps were very sore by this point.

    congrats on the bench PR. That's awesome, I'm gonna have to get moving. Was that with a lift off?

    No lift off. I don't use lift offs at all. Not even at meets. I had a couple of bad times with bro types when I started seriously lifting a few years ago. Bro type guys would sometimes lift off and dump it on me without counting or warning or, even worse, give liftoff and refuse to take their hands/fingers off the bar while I was benching. I still have issues when I ask for a spot as too many guys grab the bar when bar speeds slows down. It's really frustrating to not make a pr because some idiot grabbed the bar too early.

    That's awesome. A good lift off can help but they are few and far between
