Max out

Bench press: warmup: 45x5, 135x5, 155x3, 185x2; work: 225x1, 245x1, 275xf, 265x1, 270x1, 275xf. I good with 270.

12/28/2011

Max out

Dead lift: warmup: 135x5, 225x5, 315x3; work: 400x1, 405x1,1; however, I was not able to reach lockout on either of max efforts, so I am going to try again next week, and see where I get. So hitting 400 by years end was probably pushing a bit much, but we'll see where I end up next week.
