Benching was pretty good today, not PR levels but the technique felt good. The squats were ok, I used a crappy gym bar so it was bouncing up and down and trying to slide off my back but 445 felt good, it might have gotten a little in front right out of the hole. The high bar squats were way harder than I expected.

*add 20" box
485x2

I suck at box squats, I really thought I’d be doing reps way over 500 with how damn high the thing is. Something to bring up, still heavier than last week.

441x5 → PR?

Damn good night of squatting, hit a 500+ beltless squat for the first time in a long time and felt like I had another 5-10 lbs. in the tank. I was only planning a triple with 441 but it felt so good I went for 5, I’m pretty sure that’s an all time 5 rep PR. Pretty stoked about this. Bodyweight has been slowly climbing and I’m up around 215 right now.

threw the reverse bands on to handle some extra weight. 520 is my beltless PR and I hit it for 4 reps easy today. I think when I max again I can surpass that.
