Monday, May 17, 2010 - M.E. Bench, M.E. Squat

What a heck of a workout. The plan tonight was to run a M.E. Bench since I had pulled my groin and to get Gary's 1 R.M. for percentages and workouts. We ended up both getting PR's on the Bench and then moved over to squats. I was going to work up with Gary and keep the weights light. We were both feeling really good so we decided to keep working towards a PR. Gary hit 265 so he added 10 pounds to his PR in a week and I worked up to 385 which was a 5 pound PR. 385 went up VERY easily so I decided to try for a second rep. After that I went for 405. I am pretty sure I went down low enough, the stripes on my pants throw off the angle a little bit.

I iced up my groin again before bed just to make sure this is nice and taken care of. I will keep easy on it for the next week.
