    SQ: 190 lbs 3x5
    OHP: 100 lbs 3x5. On the 2nd set I somehow twisted the muscle behind my neck on the right (part of trap?), so the third set was kind of painful.
    HC: 100 lbs 3... Decided to call it a day because of the twisted muscle, don't want to worsen it.

    Due to neck/trap pain I skipped 2 workouts...
    SQ: 190 lbs 3x5. Felt so hard! Had to take 9-10 minute break between set...
    BP: 137.5 lbs 3x5
    DL: 185 lbs 1x5. It seemed like the wider stand & outer pointing toes made me maintain my back better.

    OHP 97.5 lb 3x5. I was wondering why it was so easy and didn't realized I miscalculated the weight by 5 lb.
    HC 102.5 lb 5x3

    Missed the Friday workout but went to swim on Saturday. A lot of hot Latinas in the pool!
