Strength log for Wednesday, September 10th

Was unsure what I was going to do today.

Not bench, did press yesterday.   Not back squats, did those on Monday.  Didn't feel like dead lift, maybe later in the week.  I really should do some overhead squat work.

Finally decided to go with front squats for a heavy single then reps. Maybe do OHS for reps instead of front squats.

Worked up rather quickly again.  At 185# for 3 reps it felt heavy.  Great, I guess I won't be going that heavy.

In the past I've found it very satisfying to hit a recent PR to confirm to myself that I'm really capable of that weight.  I hit 225# for a double with the weight belt and that went up, but it was rough.

I put 245# on the bar and went to get some water.  When I got back I figured I had only one good lift left in me, so I added 5# plates to each side to match my current PR.

It wasn't until I addressed the bar that I remembered that my PR is 250#, not 255#.  Too late now.

Down to the bottom, stalled about half way up, pushed and pushed and slowly stood it up.

Sweet, new PR.

Then I did some overhead squat work.  Really rough. Didn't use weight, just worked position.
