Frank (4/17): Starting Strength, Heavy

Back Squat
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185, 5x225, 5x275
5x330 @ 9
5x330 @ 9
5x330 @ 9
Not too tough. I have a sticking point about half-way up that requires I do a mini-good-morning thing.

Bench Press
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185
5x235 @ 9
5x235 @ 9
5x235 @ 9
I'm back to using the regular benches, which I like better because they allow me to place my feet more naturally.

Deadlift
5x135, 5x225, 5x315, 5x365, 3x405, 3x455
5x475 @ 10
5x475 @ 10
(3+1+1)x475 @ 10
Wow, these were gut-bustingly hard. I didn't expect this, since I did 5x5@475 before my trip to Taiwan. There was some hitching on the last rep of each set. The + on the last set indicates a rest of 30-60 seconds.
