Press:

157.5x1

I managed to misload on my first attempt -- 135 plus 30 does not come out to 155. It felt heavier than it should have when I unracked it, and it didn't make it past my eyebrows.

Bench press:
230x5
230x5
230x5

Squats:
225x5x3

Given that this matches my PR, the failures aren't unexpected.

Bench press:
232.5x5
232.5x4
232.5x4+f

Watching the video of the second set, it looks like I could have gotten a fifth rep. Watching the video of the last set, it looks like I was wise to bail.

Squats:
135x5,185x5,225x5

I didn't have a lot of time for my workout, so some token squats.

Press:
149x3 -- 3-rep PR
149x3
149x2+f

Woohoo! Another PR.

woohoo indeed

Press:
143x4+f -- 4-rep PR
143x3
143x4

For some reason, I hear Foghorn Leghorn in my head saying, "Son, that there, I say, that there's what you call a consolation prize." I was hoping for a 5-rep PR. I only did 3 on the second set in the hopes of getting 5 on the last set, but that wasn't happening.

Bench press:
135x20

Just for the fun of it.

Press:
160x1
160x1
161x1 -- PR

I'll be traveling next week, so I threw some half-pound microplates on for my third set so I could go ahead and nab that PR.
