•Floor Press:
Using DBs (managed to rig up something that allowed me to roll a pair of 80s off of those little step up things. Otherwise I’d have probably broken my wrists or dropped them on my face trying to fiddle with them. Do I wanna use the 100s? Yes, but I think next time I’m just gonna make use of the bottom pins in the rig.

(On a more technical note, my 1RM calculator has me at 400, given the working weight. Again, I’m fighting the urge to scratch the 1RM itch, because I have no idea how that is gonna translate given my training isn’t set up for peaking. But…. I’m eventually gonna test it. Because I’m hard headed. I’d like to test it after reaching some kind of 10rm though. Don’t think anything over 315 is gonna be doable without hurting my hips. So I figured more reps would be preferable. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Did A3 and A5 from this article
reps and sets as prescribed. Awesome burn which sucked, but my knees responded really well to it. My sciatic nerve issues affect the outer parts of my knees the most so this was great for that.
