Travelling for work so not the normal gym. I believe I could normally bench more, but it was a different bar, lower bench, and the bench felt really slick. My shoulders were sliding around with any leg drive, my arch kept collapsing and my foot position was different. Still, I'm satisfied with the PR.
Not a back squat test, more like a pre-test. The 175 felt strong, but the bar was different, the rack was different, and the mirror was only half so it was a little distracting. I realized I'm over reliant on the mirror for depth.
Hopefully, the bench press test is indicative of my progress on squat as well. The final bench workout was 5x3 at "89%" - but it turned out to be 86%. If my squat follows the same math, then I should be able to hit 186 kg.
