The failure wasn't a form failure, nor was it too heavy to go up. I just didn't make it go up. A failure of will.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so aggressive, given that I had a week off and that the press is the first to go. Oh, well.

that rep was epic, a double-dribble!

look, I'll grant you lots of things and I'm very understanding, but being weak between the ears is my turf!!

I'll try to remember that in the future.

Mr. B., I did my best to stay off your turf. Seems to have worked.

Press:

137.5x4+f

This matches my current 5-rep PR, so I'm not terribly disappointed. I would still rather have made all 5 reps on that last set, though.

CGBP:

Deadlifts:
395x3
315x4 -- Meant to be 5, but apparently I can't count.
315x5

And a bonus video: what happens when you neglect to fully unload one side of the bar.

I last deadlifted three weeks ago, 390x5. I debated just doing 385x5, but my 355 warmup felt good enough that I gave 395x5 a try. Oh, well, I'll give 395x5 another try next week.

Squats:
260x3x5

2 minutes rest, beltless.

[Mr. Bingley]

nicely done! that's such a weird feeling when you misload sides of the bar lol
