    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.

    I'd call it a lot. It wasn't a pretty press.

    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.

    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.
