I noticed I need to press forward into the ground instead of down when I'm benching cuz pressing down bothers my hip. I didn't want to go down in weight, but I also didn't want to ask someone to spot me since I hated everyone at the gym at the time, but I also didn't want to struggle and lose focus on my leg drive. Hence the 8 doubles instead of five triples or anything else.

Ryan prescribed an intensity day of doubles today. Two weeks before SS Fall Classic.

I never attempted 265 in the gym so it's a gym PR, although all time PR is 275 at last year's fall classic.

For the press, I hit a PR and then broke it. I never pressed 115 in the gym and I missed it TWICE in the Spring Challenge. Today I hit it for a double. And then I hit 117.5 for a double. Praise God Almighty!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time it came to deadlift I was falling asleep on myself and crashing from a lot of caffeine and not enough food. So I called it a day at 300 even though I was supposed to do a double at 305.

3 white lights, and applause. Just don't rep out your attempts at the Fall Classic (I remember reading here that someone actually did that once at an SS meet, somewhere. Not sure how the judges ruled).
