So, let’s just get this out there right now. 8.3 was a not a great workout for me. I didn’t complete my work sets for a single lift for a variety of reasons. I’m reaching the limits for 5 reps in my squat, I had a mix up on my bench, and the issue with my cleans is purely technical (I think). I predict better results next time.

SQUAT:

Warmup:

2x5: 45

1X5: 95

1x3: 140

1x2: 190

Work Sets:

3x5: 240 (5/2/2)

Comments: I can’t believe I completed a set of 5 at 240. Reps 3 through 5 of my first work set were completed by forces purely outside my control. I’d love to get to 5/4/3 next time. It would at least be progress.

BENCH PRESS:

Warmup:

2x5: 45

1x5: 85

1X3: 115

1x2: 150

Work Sets:

3x5: 170 (5/3/5)

Comments: Spotter confusion on set 2. Still, these are gettin’ real tough. 175 is going to take some serious determination.

POWER CLEAN:

Warmup:

2x5: 45

1x5: 85

1x3: 110

1x2: 130

Work Sets:

5x3: 155 (0/1/0/0/0)

Comments: I really don’t know what happened. Whatever it was had me completely screwed up. I really tried hard to get these too.

ASSISTANCE WORK:

Dips:

3x12

Dumbbell shrugs:

3x12: 55
