Finally, Bonak Lifts!!

We're all proud of you, Bonak.

I'm always excited to get back to training after a weekend in New York Shitty.  On the drive home to Maryland yesterday, I made sure to consume a heavy dose of fast food...crushing a 3/4 lb Bacon Triple Cheeseburger from Wendy's and a spicy chicken sandwich.

Since I failed 3x5 Press at 180 lbs (4, 4, 4), I'm supposed to bump my rep scheme down to 2x3, 1x3+ for 182.5 lbs, which is exactly what I did.  First two sets of 3 felt really easy, and I thought I'd easily get 5 reps on the last set.  Only got 4 for some reason, but I'll still take it.

Then did 2 sets of weighted pull-ups at 40 lbs.  6 reps on each set.

Then finished with 2x5,1x5+ squats at 300 lbs.  Again the first two sets felt pretty easy.  Before squatting, knowing that Ricci got 9 reps at 300 lbs, I told Robin "don't let me get anything less than 9 reps."  Ended up with 10 reps, for a theoretical max of 400 lbs.  I was, and still am, really happy with this.  Surprisingly, not feeling sore or have any stiffness in my right knee today.  I think pre-workout foam rolling really helps.
