I ended up doing my workouts out of order. I couldn't waste an opportunity to use Jim's Dead/Squat Bar by doing my sorry-assed Bench workout. No big deal.

  • Trap Bar: 280x5 (295 on Wendler's bar)/335x3/375x3
  • Bench: 70 total reps
  • Pull-ups: 50 total reps
the bar "looked like" 280, 320 and 360, but was actually 15lbs heavier. 280 was my heaviest set this week. I always get refocused when I train with Jim and this was no different. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I got a little distracted trying to do a whole bunch of different movements for 2 sets and I just wasn't having good workouts. I'm back in a good place, training-wise.
