Squat, Bench, & Dead Maxes. Tuesday, 5/24/11.

Squat
- 1st attempt: 225x1
- 2nd attempt: 245x1 --> (ties old PR!!!)
- 3rd attempt: 255xFAIL --> (caved in right from the bottom, had no power, too heavy)

Bench
- 1st attempt: 165x1 --> (felt incredibly heavy, given my PR is 180 and I was looking to increase that, I just stopped here with how fatigued I was)

Deadlift
- 1st attempt: 345x1
- 2nd attempt: 365x1 --> PR!!!!!! - (this is a 15lb PR!!!)
(second attempt very tough but I was able to get my hips through and lock it out well, strong pull off the ground though. Decided not to go for a 3rd attempt)

--> TOTAL = 775

**** MY BODY WEIGHT IS ABOUT 137 LBS. I FINALLY GOT MY SQUAT BACK UP TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE MY ACHILLES INJURY IN JANUARY. MY DEADLIFT WAS 350 BEFORE THE INJURY AND PULLING 365 TODAY WAS GREAT!! MY BENCH THIS QUARTER OF 180 IS STILL MY BEST AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS AS WELL. TODAY'S TOTAL OF 775 IS MY BEST SINGLE-DAY LIFT TOTAL AND IS ONLY 15 LBS BELOW MY CURRENT PR'S TOTAL OF 790 LBS. ****
