Day 8 of 24

Wednesday's work out kinda got out of control. I was supposed to focus on bench press and it's supporting exercises but I managed some impressive lifts from squats and deadlift. Here's how it went.

Squats - 295lbs/4 reps (no belt), 295lbs/4 reps (no belt), 315lbs/4 reps (no belt), 315lbs/4 reps (belt), 325lbs/4 reps (belt), 325lbs/4 reps (belt).

*super set 4 times*
Bench Press - [225lbs/8 reps, 245lbs/7 reps] [255lbs/6 reps, 265lbs/5 reps] [275lbs/4 reps, 285lbs/3 reps] [295lbs/2 reps, 315lbs/1 rep].
Sit Ups - 4x1 sets, 20 reps.
Machine Triceps Extensions - 4x1 sets, 12 reps, 90/100/110/110lbs.
Machine Biceps Extensions - 4x1 sets, 12 reps, 90/100/100/100lbs.

Deadlifts - 3 reps/405lbs, 2 reps/455lbs, 1 rep/495lbs.

The work out took me around 2 hours to finish and I was spent at the end. The squats are getting much easier so I went up. I was pleasantly surprised with the 315lbs bench press and the how easy the 495lbs deadlift was. I'm sure I could have pulled 550lbs. Maybe next time.
