Squat: Rx=410x5x3 buuuut, I bumped the weight quite a bit on 5's last week(415x5 instead of 390), so:
425x3x3 PR(technically, but not by e1rm)@9.5, 9.5, 9

Deadlift:
510x5 +10lb PR e1rm 571(based on my lousy 1rm conversion for deadlift) another 15 lbs here should put me in the ballpark for 6 plates!
455x5x2

Monday 6/26/2017

Squat:
435x2, failed 3rd rep. I was trying to really hit solid depth on these and between the bendy bar the weight just mashing down into my back, I ended up bumping the safeties on the 2nd rep. It took a massive effort to finish the rep which I think may have gassed me for the 3rd. After doing 425x3x3 without tremendous difficulty, this really should have gone. A little discouraging with only one session left before I test, but hopefully it was due to bumping the safeties.

Chins:
BWx8
35x7x3

Nice Pull!

Nice Pull!

Thanks skid. I was happy with it considering it was on a junk bar and I almost lost my grip as a result.

Have missed some logging and too lazy to figure out what I've missed. So here is today's training.

Squat:
375x6x4 all around 9ish. These felt a little rough. A bit under recovered. I was supposed to test squat last Monday but was out of town on vacation and forgot my gym bag. Thinking of doing a few weeks(4-5?) of volume then retesting all lifts. We'll see. Next time I pull heavy I'm going for 6 plates. Left shoulder a little buggy so didn't want to test bench.

Hmm..maybe a birthday test? Aug 14 I'll turn 46.

Stupid training session today. Decided to try and test a couple of lifts that I was not well prepared to test. Accomplished almost nothing and certainly didn't do anything to get any stronger today.

Squat:
Here's my attempt at 475. I feel like it was close but I would have preferred about an inch deeper:

Deadlift:
495x1@5?
Some other weight x just barely broke the floor then bailed.
