I have mixed feelings about today's workout. I hit 165 x 5 on the squats and they were way easier than the last time I did them, so I'm really glad that I reset them a few pounds. I also hit a PR on power cleans. However, I failed my bench PR attempt. 135 x 5 felt really heavy and I shouldn't have gone for the 5th rep of 150. I thought I had it though and spent about 10 seconds at my sticking point before finally getting it to the lowest rack. I'm not sure how to go about this on Friday. Should I microload and go for 147.5 instead of 150, or should I do 150 again? Any advice is appreciated as always. Other than that, great workout!
