RANDOM BENCH/DEADLIFT

Went to 4-star to hang out with Brent, Dave, and Phils. Ended up doing random stuff that other people were doing.

• Bench 135x5x2, 185x5, 225x3, 245x2, 275x1, 295x1

I paused most of these, except maybe the 295? Considering I just did a meet and I had no build up to this whatsoever, I'm pretty happy with hitting 295. Especially since I totally lost my arch and tightness at the bottom and touched a few inches higher than I want to, yet still managed to muscle it up.

• Deadlift 135x5, 225x5, 275x5, talk to Dave, 135x5, 275x5, 335x5

Trying out Texas deadlift bar. Dave gave me some good tips on my lockout that I think will be helpful moving forward.

• Bench w/ chains 135x5, add manpon, 185x5, 225x5

I think I got the reps right on this. Not sure. Using chains was weird, made me feel unstable, but probably good for me.
