... I didn't use a spotter, and had to boost all the weights up myself, held the lockout position for a a sec or two before repping.

Well today was the first time I benched in the power rack, one was perfect when setup for me. The pins could be set 1cm below my body so when I failed I could take the air out of my body and the bar hit the pins! Cool - no need for crappy spotters no more. And the power rack supports are so much better to take and drop the bar back on, no chance of missing em!

It does tax you a little bit before the lift, having to take it off the rack and then settle, before you start your rep. I also lift in a power rack and have the same type of pin setup. Works well since you don't have to worry too much about failing.

Today I warmed up Westside ME style and ended up doing 255lbs for 1.

Currently 170lbs @ 5'8, but carrying a bit too much fat for my liking.

Did floor press with just weight-no bands/or chains, 10pr 485 felt light but my shoulder made it look ugly, at least it didn't hurt just didn't want to work right. lol

28th april - squats

warmups, then
185x1
205x1 (2 month ago PR)
215x1 (1 month ago PR)
225x1 (PR)
230x1 (PR)
235x miss (I went off balance on the way down, and just put the bar down on the bars rather than try to save it. figured I was too tired to safely try again).
bodyweight is about 195

I was happy. my form felt great, and the singles all went up faster than my old 1RMs did. I squat a little wider than shoulder width, as far down as I can go (several inches past paralell)

on friday I'm gonna go for a deadlift 1RM. old PR 235, hoping for a big jump.
