  * All of the squat racks were taken for long periods of time, so I couldn't OHP & instead, settled for this machine.

Hex Bar Deads (6RM) & Zercher Squats

Hex Bar Deads
225/10, 315/5, 365/3, 415/6 (6RM)
  * Rep maxes two weeks in a row.. not too shabby.

Zercher Squats
133/10, 183/10, 223/5, 223/5, 223/5
  * Kept them light... we do a lot of lunges and light squats in bootcamp, so I definitely hit legs during the week. Since I've barely done any Zerchers in a while, I wanted to see how 223 felt. Truthfully, all three sets were pretty easy.

Unexpected Hex Bar Dead Rep PR, inter alia

Hex Bar Deads
225/10, 315/5, 365/3, 405/8 (8RM)
      * I had it in my mind today that I wanted to rep 405, but I really didn't know how many to expect. In the back of my mind, I thought about a PR, but figured I would crap out at around 6. Once 6 hit, I knew I was good for 7, and then after 7, I figured it's now or never, so I went for it. It was definitely a challenge, but once it came off the ground, I knew I was good for it. After the set, I was slightly light headed and breathing heavily.

Light Zercher Squats
138/10, 138/10, 138/10
     * It's been a while, so I thought they'd made a nice supplement to the 8RM on deads.

Neutral Grip Pull Ups
12, 10, 8

Barbell T-Bar Rows 
170/6, 170/6, 160/8

Barbell Shrugs
278/21

Standing Cable Curls (high handles)
45's/21, less than one minute break, 45's/9

* Tough, but good workout!
