Bunch of workouts

I was on vacation for the last week.  A few days at home + a few days at a wedding.  I knew that there's no way I could work out at the wedding so I did like 3 workouts in 4 days.

5-14-2012
Squat 370lbs 5/5/3.
Bench Press 225lbs 5/5/5.
Power snatch 115lbs 5x3

The last set of squats were pretty rough.  The bar started slipping and I had to really really strain to push the bar up to the hooks.  I definitely pulled something in my left arm (as I was putting the weight back up, most of it was being held up by my arms, no good no good).  I played some tennis the day after and the impact of the ball on the racquet was enough to send jarring pain through my left arm :(  I should probably have it looked at.  I still worked out the next day:

5-15-2012
Deadlift 365lbs 5/3/3
Press 140lbs 3/3/3
Barbell Curlz 70lbs 5x10

Deadlifts felt pretty great; much better than usual.  It makes sense I suppose; it was the first movement and I was fresh.  For some reason, when I press with a belt on, I get super lightheaded.  For some reason this only happens with presses.  That's why in the first set I was only able to get 3.  The next 2 sets I didn't wear a belt, and I probably won't when I press from now on.

Some tennis.  Left arm really hurt.

5-17-2012
Squat 275lbs 4x8
Pullups 12/7/6/5

Kept the weight pretty light for this one because I didn't want to mess up my arm anymore.
