Well, it was sort of like picking a low-hanging piece of fruit. I've added a good bit of weight to my bench generally since I've attempted 225 for reps, and I only beat my old record by 2.

Deadlift: 555xFAIL (barely!), 480x3x2
Press: 160x8x3
skipped squats and chins

While Thanksgiving resulted in copious nutritions, I will say that other recovery factors were not optimizedt. Failed the pull after some pretty intense shaking about 3" short of lockout. All pulls done with straps.

I need a power bar with more aggressive knurls, maybe even a 28.5mm one (TPB? Other suggestions?) to get back to being able to hook my top work. Hooked the last warm-up single at 480 no problem, so I'm keeping up some practice.

Definitely finishing this next time. Kind of looks like I quit on it. Maybe I did.

Squat (high bar beltless paused) 315x2x5
Dips: 125x5x4
Split snatch: 130x2x6
Incline Bench (45*, not quite to chest): 155x5x2
Curls: A couple light ones

Probably a PR on the snazzy snatch (as my wife calls them), but pathetic weight so not really keeping track.

I clicked on your log thinking, "I wonder what he PRed today..."

I've had a good run lately. Hope it's not over, but it's getting less reliable

12/4/2020:

Squat: 460xFAIL*, 410x3**
Press: 195x3, 185x3, then 165x3x5 EMOM
"Speed" (lol) deadlift: 405x2x3
Chins: 100x3, 75x7

*it was at least a pretty fail. Way more technically solid than the 455 I managed to complete 2 weeks ago. Naturally I shall try it again
**This is a fake PR. I've never done this for 3, but I did 405x5 2 weeks ago so it's a technical PR only. Very meh.

Split Snatch: 132.5x1x6, 115x3x2

Have never done a +170# dip before even for a single, so that's good I think.

Had to take it a little easier than I'd initially hoped to. Snow removal was pretty effort intensive yesterday. Probably on a 4-day split for the next 2 weeks, at least.
