Squat: 260 (3x5) PR!

I didn't have the time or energy for more. I was on vacation from Friday to yesterday, in the Florida Keys. It was gorgeous, but I was basically drunk for three days--and I came back delirious and sunburnt. So I'm just happy I got into the gym today. Plus, hey, PR!

Friday, April 30th:
Deadlift: 315 (1x5)
Press: 150 (3x5)

Last time screwing around with the same weight. (I hope). Schedule probably won't settle down until the week after next. Got props from several people for doing heavy weight, even though it's nowhere near my goals.

Thursday, May 6:
Squat: 260 (3x5)
Dumbbell Bench: 90 (5/5/4)

The week-long breaks need to stop. Obviously.

Tuesday, May 11th:
Deadlift: 320 (1x5) PR

3 rounds of heavy bag work. Some speed bag. Another week-long break means repeating the squat weight from last week, I think.

Thursday, May 13
Squat: 260 5 (Oops. Didn't load one of the plates) 262.5 3/5
Press: 150 (3x5)
Curls: 115 (6/8/5)

Strange day for the squat. Coulda sworn I wouldn't hit five reps on that last one, but I did. I would've tried on more set, but I ran out of time.

Friday, May 14:
Deadlift: 325 (1x5)

Okay, I need some help. I tried to test my 1RM, and failed. The weight I tried was 365. I made 3 attempts. Then I tried the weight I was planning to do for 5 reps, and banged it out easily. What gives? Did I just set my sights too high? What do people do to prep for a maximum attempt?

Tuesday, May 18th:
Squat: 262.5 (3x5)
Dumbell bench: 90 (3x5)
Deadlift: 335 (1x4)

Missed the last deadlift rep; was wearing squat shoes, not my usual chucks, plus I'm used to doing that lift first, not last. Will proceed with 5# jump Friday.

Fun workout today. I haven't done a full SS workout in a while.

Squat: 265 (3x5) PR
Press: 155 (5/5/2)

Squats were tough. But PRs are awesome!
