Power Cleans - 5X2 - 135
Push Press - 3X5 - 205
Close Grip Bench - 3X5 - 275, 285, 295, 300 (2), 300(2)
The Push Press felt pretty heavy. I needed to go heavy in order to test myself. I took some time off and I need to know exactly where I am with this.

The close grip bench felt good. 275, 285, & 295 felt great. All fluid except for my lower half.

All of a sudden I come back from a layoff and forget to coordinate my lower body???
I looked for a spot for 300. The kid behind me seemed good enough. Seemed like he could listen.
I told him, "this is my last set. I need you to be there for me. I will pound rep 1, 2, and 3 up. If I do get stuck, I need you to help pull me out of it. Do you understand? Do you have any questions?"
He said, "no".
On my 3rd rep I felt my tris fail. I said, "up, up, pick it up. Up!!!" At this point I looked up and saw a place where I could safely get out from under the bar. As you can see, the spotter was not paying attention and did not listen.

The moral of the story is, if you ever get stuck in this position you better know wtf to do. My vid displays a spontaneous way to get out from underneath 300 lbs when its almost about to smash your face in bc your spotter isn't paying attention.
Needless to say, I have not seen the kid since. Lex Talionis.
