Frank (3/13): Starting Strength, Heavy

Back Squat
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185, 5x225, 5x285
5x340 @ 8
5x340 @ 8/9
5x340 @ 8
I think I finally got the "hip drive" thing down. The third set was much easier than the second, and I'm sure I was sinking it lower too. I also definitely felt myself using my hamstrings and glutes instead of my quads.

Bench Press
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185
5x240 @ 8
5x240 @ 8
5x240 @ 8/9
Not too tough. I hate sliding down the bench every rep.

Deadlift
5x135, 5x225, 5x315, 3x365, 3x405, 1x455
4x495 @ 8
4x495 @ 8
4x495 @ 8
4x495 @ 9
4x495 @ 9
4x495 @ 10
I feel much stronger with my left hand supinated (underhand, I think) than my right. Sets 4 and 6 were pretty ugly. The rest were fine.
