Yeah, the coming back down thing was my concern. More layback than I wanted too, but that's not a cause for disqualification. Thanks!
Did the weight start to go a little forward just before it stalled?
This brings up a question I've had -- if it's not a competition-acceptable lift, does it still count in training? My guess is that it still counts as a training stimulus because you finished the lift. In other words, your body experienced the same (or possibly more) stress as it would have for a perfect lift, and you completed the full range of motion.
Reds or not, it's still impressive.
4/9/19:
Squat: 360x3x2
Row: 205x5x3
Squats were harder than I thought they would be. Rows were easier. Will be interesting to see what happens Friday.
4/11/19 (CG):
Peak week continues
Bench: 300x1 (PR!)(loaded with micros to a nominal 301 with a 20kg barbell = real 300, assuming plates are correct, which they're almost certainly not. Whatever. 300)
Press: 205x1 (PR again? 2.0 this time. Called a do-over because of Chad)
Also, I finally qualify for one of these.

Thanks! Here's another successful PR (but awful video) and 2 failures but with much better camerawork:
Squat: 442x1 PR!!!
Deadlift: 535xnope (x2)
So 3 new PR's this week. Been a long time since I've had 3 in a week, but 4 still would have been better.
