Press	150 x 8 150 x 8 150 x 8

More to come later. 150 is my 8 rep PR for press, but I wasn't able to do that for three sets before. This was quite doable.

I wonder what a chiro or masseuse would think my back feels like right now.

The density deadlifts were all double overhand with no straps. I surprised myself.

Monday 21 May 2018:

This week is doubles week, 3x2 on all the main lifts. Just to recap, April's round of 8-5-2 I squatted 350 for the doubles. A week or two ago I did 375 for a top single that probably could've been a double. I thought about moving up from 375 today, but decided to be conservative and make sure I didn't fail the three sets or have to pull weight off the bar.

Squat	375 x 2 375 x 2 375 x 2
RDLs	225 x 8 275 x 8 315 x 8

Press doubles. 175 is the best I've ever done for 3 sets of 2. Working back up during this April cycle I aimed for 175x2x3 but failed the second set. Nailed it here. I think 175 is also still technically my 1 rep PR, lol. I should beat that next time.

Press	175 x 2 175 x 2 175 x 2
Press backoffs	140 x 10 135 x 10 125 x 10
Lat pulldowns (10 to failure, pause, 5)	120 x 15 x 5
Back to back: Reverse rows x10, Pushups x20 max sets in 12 minutes	5 sets of each
