Overhead Press
Plug in Weight: 175
63/10, 63/10

Jeffersons
Plug in Weight: 395
145/10
255/5, 295/5, 335/5

   335/5 was only because I didn't have the proper footwear (Cons). I had to lift only in socks and I kept sliding on the floor after each rep, so I just did the minimum of 5 and stopped. That's what I get for neglecting to bring the trusty Cons.
