Max effort test for squat, bench and deadlift. Sqaut felt good today and no issues working up. 225@8, 235@9 and 245@9.5. Felt good stopping there on squat for a new PR!. Next was bench and my left shoulder/peck has just been giving me problems on bench, and also deadlift if I irritate it during bench. Working up felt ok first couple of sets but as soon as I got to 185# my shoulder started bothering me. 205# felt like @RPE8 where the last couple of WO's this felt like a @RPE6. I went up to 220# hoping it would feel better, but it didn't. I called it there as my last set for bench. Disappointing since I did 245# just a week ago. We moved on to deadlift and although my left shoulder botherd me, it didn't seem to affect the pull except at the very top when getting shoulders back. I was hoping to better the 375#'s I did 1.5 weeks ago here. Things were moving well adn I got to 375# and it didn't move as well as last week, but it wasn't my top weight. I added 10# for 385# and got it @PRE10. I felt better pulling last week, but still got a 2nd PR today!
My total for today was 850#. Had my bench been on par with last week's effort that would've been 875#, but it doesn't matter, today it was 850 and I'm pleased with that. I never thought I'd be in a position to think 1,000 would be possible. Now I know it is and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Sarah had an awesome effort and result today. She PR'd on all 3 lifts and had some great totals. She really went for broke, pushed her limits shown by a failed squat and bench on 3rd/last attempts. I believe her numbers were Squat: 195, Bench: 135, Deadlift: 230, TOTAL: 560
Overall I'm extremely pleased with progress on the Strength I program. I'm a bit disappointed with bench and my shoulder/pec, but hope I can recover quickly and get back at it. We'll be switching to a hypertrophy block, and time for some weight loss. I added about 7-8 pounds over the 13 week strength program, and certainly a lot of that is fat :)
