49 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I went in to this workout with lowered expectations based on how the past two push press sessions have gone. I expected to get a small PR and that it would be hard fought. I was right. Just got to keep plugging away at the overhead lifts. Benching continues to improve a lot. My goal weight was just 255lbs but it went up way too easy and I might have had two more reps in the tank for 285lbs, which is 10lbs over my eight rep PR. I knew rows would be tough as everything had been heavy the previous workout with squats and wide grip rdls. Managed to eek out 11 reps on the last set. I should get all of them next time. Tons of stretching, probably due to not walking yesterday and from doing a lot work that night for a video project.
