25 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Excellent workout, took about 68 minutes. Didn't feel too strong during warm-ups but got much better as the sets went on. I was worried at the start that my goal of 285 was too optimistic but that was blown away. While I haven't done board pressing with the thick bar before, I am happy to have done 10lbs more than my best with a barbell and do some solid reps with 305lbs. Not bad for starting board pressing again. I screwed up my math for log cleans as I had thought I was doing plate, quarter, plate but the plan was actually just add 40lbs a set. Once I recognized my error I just went with it. Surprised myself getting 320lbs for three, that last rep was a doozy. Finished up with some solid back work and I welcome a bit of rest.
