Box Squats and Bench June 27

I've missed blogging a few workouts but this was a big one. I was going camping for the weekend near Drayton Valley so I wouldn't be in town for my bench day, so I had to double up on primaries. It historically hasn't gone well for me but I felt good that morning.

Box Squats

Triples @ 45, 95, 135, 185, 225, 275

Added Belt

Triples @ 295, 315, 335

Wrapped Knees

Triple @ 355

3 x 2 @ 370

These felt good, much faster and cleaner than the last time I did the weight. 375 and 380 shouldn't feel much different in the coming cycle.

Bench

Triples @ 45, 95, 135, 185, 205, 225, 245, 265

3 x 2 @ 275

Again, Brandon wasn't there so these were touch and go instead of paused. They didn't really make me feel more or less confident about the prospect of doing them with a pause because I was already tired and kind of expecting them to feel crappy as it was. I was pleasantly surprised on that front but ultimately I won't have a measuring stick for 270+ with a full pause until I actually do it.
