Plug in Weight: 360
135/10

Overhead Press

Overhead Press (531, Month 4, Week 1)
Plug in Weight: 190
45/10, 45/10, 95/5

125/5, 140/5, 160/5  (531 PR)
95/10, 105/10, 115/10, 120/10, 120/10

* I decided to keep the plug in weight the same for this cycle, since I missed 160/5 last time. I'm very happy to report that I nailed it today. It's been a long time coming to get this weight for 5 reps. I felt like I had a chance today after 140/5 went up easier than it normally does.

Super Deadlift

Super Deadlift - Low Handles (531, Month 3, Week 3)
 Plug in Weight: 430
155/10, 265/5
320/5, 365/3, 410/1 (PR, went up easily)
245/10, 245/10, 245/10, 245/10, 245/10 (I reiterate that getting through these sets is harder than it may seem on paper.)

3 sets of planks to finish.

I have a weird schedule coming up over the next two weeks. Instead of doing a light week next week, I will start the next cycle, but then take the following week off, and resume with the second week of the next cycle the week after that.

Chest

I weighed myself today and the scale said 217. That seems kind of light to me, so I don't know if I buy it.

DB Incline Press
55's/10, 65's/10, 75's/5, 90's/3, 100's/1, 105's/zippo
   * I really wanted to get the 105's today. I thought I had a good progression up to them, as the 100's went up easily. However, the 105's didn't budge at all once I got them in to position. Blah.

Prime Fitness Plate Loaded Incline Press

Jeffersons

Jeffersons (531, Month 3, Week 3)

265/5, 300/3, 330/5 (only supposed to do 1, felt like doing more)

Shoulders

Overhead Press (531, Month 3, Week 3)
Plug in Weight: 190
45/10, 45/10, 95/5

140/5, 160/3, 180/1  (531 PR)
95/10, 105/10, 115/10, 125/10, 125/9

180/1 is the second most I've ever lifted in the OHP. My all time PR is 191, which I did in January 2016. Based on the difficulty of 140/5 and 160/3, I didn't think I'd get 180 tonight. But, surprisingly enough, it was easier than expected. The cool thing about it was that a trainer saw me, and gave me a fist bump. This is high praise considering the people that work out in this gym, so that made me smile.
