Workout C5- 325 x 1/6 (reps/sets)

Felt good today so I added some reps even though they weren’t in the program.
5:00 rest
345 x 1/2 (reps/sets with :30 rest)
5:00 rest
365 x 1/2 (reps/sets with :30 rest)
The last rep at 365 slowed down a bit but I felt like trying for 385. It was my max back in April at the end of Dan John’s 40-Day Workout so I waited 10:00 and tried again.
385 x 1
This one went up reaaaaallllyyy slowly and my form was pretty ugly but I got it locked out. Not bad after all the reps leading up to it. I’ll try again for a real “sort of” max next Wednesday after I eat and rest up a bit. I’ve worked out every other day for three weeks straight so just need a physical and mental break.
Still had some energy and did my bench press work for the day.

Chicago – Halloween 2014 – Yes, that’s snow…
The Halloween Howler that blew through Chicago dusted us with some snow on our balcony deck. Not cool and the first measurable snow on Halloween since Chicago started keeping records. Not the best night for Trick or Treating.
