Squats:
Tom: 415x5
Harder than last time, but this was never in doubt. The important thing is that I had zero hamstring pain. I felt some weird little click on the 4th rep, but there was no pain.

Bench:
Tom: 235x5
Stupid easy. I was going to do 240, but I had no spotters, I was using a new form (wide-grip, feet flat, big arch, high touch point), and I figured it didn't matter since this is still technically a PR, anyway.

Chinups:
Tom: 245x5 /w grey, 240x5 /w orange, 240x2 /w bodyweight
Zero energy after my main lifts today. My arms did not feel recovered from armathon last Wednesday. After bench, the thing I felt the most was my biceps. They were tired and pumped. After bench. I'm going to cut down my assistance to 2x8, I think.

Overall:
Normally, I don't like lifting alone, but today it was a real treat. No distractions. No coaching people. Pure focus. I'm trying to decide if I should go for 400x5 deadlift on Wednesday and go up by 5 from there or just try for 425 and see what the hell happens. I'll probably say that I'm going to reset and then end up doing 425. So maybe I'll just say I'm doing 425 and then I'll be reasonable when it comes time to deadlift.

Let me know how things go with that bar, f4.
