27:48...slow runs but Barbell felt good.
A lot of chest and triceps fatigue through day so took Bench a little less volume.
PM
Bench
3x3@315 (definitely hard after this morning)
3x10@225
Back on the gain train.
Backsquat, singles up to 500# (wanted to prove to myself I could still hit it)
3x5@405 (felt good...working up on some volume)
Bench
3x5@315 (little slower...but still adding volume)
Kinda done after that.
So...on Memorial Day the old crossfitter came out and I decided to do "Hall" with the gym. Felt good but back was a little tight today.
Backsquat: singles @ 405-455-480 (felt slow but was confident through lift...I attribute it due to fatigue)
Bench: 3x1 @330 (315 felt great going up so decided to go to 330 and have an extended Pause to erase and hesitation of opening up there...felt great)
Deads: worked up to 455...felt good there but decided not to push with tight back. I would rather my last heavy dead training day be the last day when I felt awesome.
Feeling great and excited...a few Epsom salt baths this week should have me in top form.
Comp Bench 345-355x1, 305-325 for 6 total reps 1-2 reps per set
Pin Bench (top half of your normal ROM for lockout) 3x3@9
Weighted Pull-ups 2x5 (heavier than last week if possible)
Competition Bench:
Paused singles: 315-335-345-355 (PR...felt great and moved pretty fast...wished I videoed)
2x3@405
1×5 @425 (I got excited and went to failure)
Weighted pull-ups 5-6 @+53
