Week 8 Training Day 1

Squat 225x1/315x1/405x1/520x5(had 7 in me)
Pause Bench 135x1/225x1/315x1/375x5(had 6 in me)
Pull Ups BWx5/BW+25x2x5/BWx2x5


Wow, this is a really good squat and bench cycle. I broke out the deadlifts on their own day b/c it is my weakest lift right now and I would like to get the 575x5. That weight has been a goal of mine for 4 years since I saw Bob Lowery do it in an old PLUSA in 2002. I could probably do 540 and 380 for 5 but it's time to move on to triples.

DAMN...that's some nice work Mike. Is this your whole workout there? Warm-up sets and such?

Thanks. Yep, that's everything. I don't waste too much time and energy doing warm ups. Just enough to get me ready.
