Broken Equipment, Missed Reps and Rain-outs 6/8 - 6/13/15

It has been an interesting, adventurous week.  The lever on my squat belt broke while I was in the hole of the 2nd rep of my third set on Monday.  It hurt... not that the belt hurt me, but the sudden release of tension in my back hurt quite a bit.  I was using the safety squat bar, so I was able to let go of the bar and shed the belt.  I successfully attempted the third rep, sans belt, but decided not to push my luck further.

Friday's squat sets were performed with my DL belt, and I did low bar for kicks and giggles... so far, no elbow pain.

Bench on Friday saw my first failed rep (in the Big Four - obviously I fail reps on Chins all the time) since coming back to the iron.

I missed my first OWU single at 255, so I went down to 245 for my second.

Today, it was raining pretty hard and I wasn't about to take my iron sled and iron plates outside, so we just did some high pulls and shrugs and called it a day.

All things considered it was a pretty great week - because any week where there is progress is a great week.  Oh, and I got a 425lb 1RM on Deadlift!  Only 32.5 more pounds to go until I tie my all-time PR!!
