July 6th, 2012
Workout Time: 100 minutes
Workout Grade: A-
Performed my first ever heavy squat set with a belt. 545 felt easy. Think I would have a solid chance at 650 right now, or at least something in that ballpark.
Hit my first big bench PR in quite a while. Had a few reps in the tank, but my back was cramping. Eccentrics were quick. My bench form is improving, thanks to a few tips from Roger Ryan. Still far too inconsistent though.
All in all a good session. I entered fatigued from the heat, with no motivation. Left feeling energetic and triumphant.
