Frank (3/20): Starting Strength, Heavy

I had a little bit of a sniffle today, so I wasn't that pumped about going to the gym. Still, it turned out OK.

Back Squat
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185, 5x225, 5x275, 5x315
5x355 @ 8
5x355 @ 9
5x355 @ 9/10
The first set was beautiful. The second set was OK, but I started losing focus after the third rep or so. The third set was terrible. I didn't have any abdominal pressure at all, and I felt a little dizzy after the first rep. I blame it on being sick.

Bench Press
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185
5x245 @ 8
5x245 @ 9
5x245 @ 10
This went about the same as my squat.

Deadlift
5x135, 5x225, 5x315, 3x365, 3x405, 1x455
3x495 @ 8
3x495 @ 8
3x495 @ 8
3x495 @ 8
3x495 @ 9
3x495 @ 9
"Light" day, but this still felt pretty hard.

I should also note that I got a bike today. It's an old beater bike, but it easily cuts my commute time by half or more. I <3 my bike.
