2012-11-13 SS Week 6 (MB)

I recently ordered creatine and protein powder, Creatine seems to have a solid amount of supporting evidence for its benefits in strength training. I will take protein since I'm not eating nearly enough food right now. I haven't gotten them yet, but they should be arriving very soon. 

Progress this week:
Squat: 225, 230, 235
Press: 130 (5/5/4), 130 (5/5/5)
Bench: 195 (5/4ish/4ish)
Dealift: 295


Squats are feeling pretty strong. Press was a struggle at 130 today and will likely fail at 135. Bench is going to fail soon too. Hard to tell with DL, but it feel pretty damn heavy. 

My bench day was somewhat ruined by an annoying spotter who would touch the bar despite my instructions not to. As such, I can't be sure that I got the 5 rep and since it felt difficult, I plan on doing 195 again.
