Thanks, CJ. I think I like your perspective on this thing better than my own.
1/1/2015. New PR's Day.
Squat: 275 x 5 x 3. (Okay, it's just a post-adductor tear PR, but whatever)
Bench (touch and go): 245 x 1, 265 x 1 (Holy hell, 15-lb PR!)
Deadlift: 455 x 1, 505 x 1 (5-lb PR! video below)
Press: 170 x 1, 180 x 1 (2.5 lb PR!), 185 x 0 x 2

Plates didn't make it into the frame, but 505 it was.
Outstanding work on new PR day! 505 was awesome to see you pull today, and that 265 bench? GainzZz son.
Jeez... maybe I should tear my adductor off.
And you weigh like, what, 100lb? ;p
Amazing work on the PRs, Adam :)
1/3/14:
Exactly 1 month since the injury.
Squat: 285 x 5 x 2 (injury was fine, but I skipped the third set due to cranky right knee and being smoked from my first real night back at jiu jitsu)
Close-grip bench: 195 x 8 x 2, 195 x 9 (should have been 10, but I missed the chest on rep 9 and had to reverse course)
DB Rows: 80 x 20 x 3 (each hand, obvi). Very sloppy, lots of momentum, arms, wrists, and hands are so pumped it hurts to type. Nice.
