I failed my last bench rep an inch from lockout. Heartbreaking.

[JohnHelton]

It looks like you are pushing your bodyweight lower again. Great job.

Thanks @JohnHelton. I'm trying to get down to 180.

This was a disappointing effort. I was suppose to get five reps on the last set. On video it looks like I just gave up. I think the lighter weight squats are training me to stay too upright. Normally I can grind out a couple of reps all hips. Of course this breaks capillaries all over. Today not even one broken capillary on my eyelids. At least depth looks good in the thumbnail.

This was one of my easiest deadlift workouts. Velocity loss was only 8% on the last triple.
