Squats:
Warmup: 45x5, 135x5, 155x4, 180x3
205x5
205x5
205x5
I don't relish the prospect of tackling 2.5 plates Thursday but we'll see how it goes.

Bench:
Warmup: 45x5, 70x5, 90x4, 110x3, 130x2
150x5
150x5
150x5
About time. My elbow hurts a lot if I forget to tuck it when the bar descends, though.

Deadlift:
Warmup: 135x5, 185x5, 220x4, 255x3, 290x2
325x5
Easy enough.

Dips:
Warmup: BWx6, +17.5x3
+35x5
+35x5
Elbows hurt from bench still, but the pain went away by the time I got to my work sets.

Hmm. This random elbow pain probably means I'm screwing up my bench form (forearm positioning or grip, most likely). Gotta keep working on it.

Otherwise pretty damn good. Also JC is a goddamn beast.

  1. Good progress. You'll get the 2.5 plates. And JC should most more regularly...

  2. Elbow pain can be caused by many reasons, but a quick note regarding tucking the elbows: Doing this perfectly is not as easy as it looks, and the angle (horizontal, torso to upper arm) also depends on how low you touch.
