3x80kg
3x87.5kg
Pause Squats
6x87.5kg
5x87.5kg -- I somehow forgot to increase the weight like I was supposed to, and didn't notice until after the set was finished.
5x95kg
4x102.5kg
3x110kg
2x3x117.5kg -- I didn't think I had this in me. Pleasant surprise.
Deadlifts
10x60kg
5x80kg
4x100kg -- I decided to do mixed grip, alternating which hand I was using each rep. I followed through with that on the remaining warm ups.
2x120kg
2x140kg
2x155kg -- Left over, right under. Attempted a third rep, bar got about and inch off the floor and then stopped agreeing with me. Stupid bar.
1x155kg -- Right over, left under. Got the bar almost to my knee on what would have been a second rep, and again the bar disagreed with me. Loud profanities were heard by all. At this point, I stripped the weight back to 100kg, and spent the next 20 minutes in what can best be described as a profoundly middle class rage. To understand what I mean by middle class rage, let me reflect this over to middle class humour, in which the joke is responded to with a polite chuckle that says: "Ah, yes, I see what you did there." So, I was raging at the bar, but in the mildest manner.
3x100kg -- Back to DOH hook grip here on out.
3x110kg
3x120kg
3x130kg
2x140kg
2x150kg -- Louder profanities were heard. I really wanted 3 reps. I think I got the bar the furthest up my leg out of all failed sets, but it still never passed my knees. I'll beat you next time.
I'm rock climbing tonight. I hear that for rock climbing, it's beneficial to have your legs and grip muscles in good order. This might be hilarious.
