Thursday - Deadlift PR

I hadn't been in the gym for almost a week because of finals and projects, but I wanted to test my deadlift, concluding the semester. I may try a press PR sometime soon too but I don't have anything to compare it to, so its not that important.

Deadlift:
-135x5
-225x3
-315x3
-385x1
-405x1
-425x1
-450x1 (PR!)

I stopped here with the deadlift, though speed off the floor was really good, I could feel my back bending and the left side felt like it couldn't take much more.

Bench Press:

I hadn't benched since December, at least not seriously or consistently. I always skipped bench and now I don't even program it in.

-135x5
-155x3
-205x1
-230x1
-250x0 (its just bench press, I wasn't that motivated)
