Perplexed...

Yesterday...
HSPU day 38 (10-10-8-6-4)


WOD: Back Squat 5-5-5-5-5
1. 175 2. 185 3. 195 4. 200 5. 205

Bench Press 5-5-5-5-5
1. 165 2. 170. 3. 175 4. 180 5. 185 (PR)

I was really disappointed with my Back Squat...when I did that short Starting Strength cycle my last 3x5 for Back Squat was 220#. I started light, expecting to make bigger jumps but once I got to 195# I was feeling really weak under the bar. I'll chalk it up to the fact that I was working hard all day and didn't get a chance to eat since lunch (lunch was at noon, didn't get to work out until 5ish). Next time I'll push extra hard and make sure I at least get my current PR, if not more.

Bench was good. I'm steadily improving, even though I don't actually do it very often. I think I Bench probably about once a week, sometimes even less often than that. That made up for the shameful Squats.
