165 lb Press 4 x 5, 1x 3 PR!, 40 kg belt squat, floor pushups, laterals



VERY VERY good day. While not perfect it was more than I had hoped for. I was thinking of 3x5 and 2 x 4 with 165 but I got 4 sets of 5 and 1 x 3. Just got tired at the end and hit triceps death :)

But can't complain at all. Figured out a few things too and that's always worth it's weight in gold. I was stretching through the hips on the descent trying to create a bow like effect. It worked ok but not as good as the usual descent followed by a hip thrust to initiate. Only way to find these things out is to test them and that I did.

Part of the reason I missed the last rep was fatigue from a couple very slow reps brought on by mistiming the descent. No worries
