185x3,5,4

pull up
angled bars - bwx6,6
top of squat rack - bwx5,5

floor press
did a bunch. couldn't set up properly (floor hurt my back, mats were the perfect size that they completely fucked up my arm movement)
rack press, from the floor - these were better because my arm never actually hit the mats

rope pushdown 120x8,8,7
rev fly 30x12x3




This was at the school gym, so was my deadlift session the other day. Everything from now on will be at my school gym, which means the numbers will be a little off for a week or two just because things are different. The bars are different, the squat rack is different, the mats are different, the plates are different, the machines are totally different.

Considering I only ate once before I started lifting (damn cafeteria closes early on fridays), and it was four or five hours earlier, and also considering I was up hours late last night without eating anything, I'm pretty happy with what I did today.
I lied, I had a carton of milk before lifting.


It felt good to have 245 on the bar, even though it was a really high rack press. I've never pushed 2 plates before.
