Weird workout day.

Bench press 5 x 5
65
75
80
85 (5 rep max)
90 x 1

Then Dumbbell Fran
25# Dumbbells
8:21? GAH! My book is in my car. Anyway, something verrrry close to that.

Then I went to the gym to swim. Which rhymes. Anyway, there was an AQUA CLASS THEN! So...I was wearing an AWESOME outfit b/c it wasn't for the gym, it was for going homeafter swimming. So I went and ran first.

Did 1 lap jog, 1 lap hard for 15:21. I thought I was tracking laps, but no, I wasn't. Great.

Then I swam 5 x 100m with :20 rest between each 100m. Felt GREAT to be in the water again, but I was not very speedy I think. Was in the water a total of 10:12. Meh. But...I'll be bock.

Back Squat 5 x 5
Moved last week's weights up by 10#, except for the 2nd set, which I screwed up (it should have been 240, not 235).

215-5
235-5
270-5
295-5
325-5 (5 rep PR)



Bench Press 5 x 5
Moved last week's weights up by 5#.
160-5
180-5
205-5
225-5
245-4

I think I would have got 5 at 245 - I was struggling, but I'm pretty sure I was going to get it. Unfortunately, I didn't explain things as clearly to my spotter (who shall remain nameless) as I should have, so this person pulled it a bit early.

It seems that the clear solution to this problem is to get 250 x 5 next time. That should remove any doubts I might have.

Thanks for throwing me under the bus, Phil. But actually, you have explained it to me. You told me that if the bar appears to start going in a downward motion, the spotter should grab it. That is exactly what I did. SO...I guess the lesson to be learned is that if one changes their standards for spotting, one should inform his/her spotter of this ahead of time.
