Melanie: Monday

Volume day.

Squat: 45 x 5; 65 x 3; 95 x4x5; 100 x 5
The sets of 5 reps @ 95 were plenty challenging, however, as I approached the last set I heard Sam's voice in my head saying "Sometimes you have to try to lift something you think you can't." I did and I could.

Bench: 45 x 5; 75 x 3 x 5; 75 x 2 x4
These were another story. Bench was taken so I did these on the squat rack and my set up felt awkward. Plus, I didn't have a spotter and needed one on the last two sets, so didn't get my 5th reps on those.

Rows: 45 x 5; 65 x 5 x 5
I'm not sure what to make of these. Last reps on three of the sets were challenging. Need to work on form.

Leg raises on pullup bar: 4 x 5
5 snatch practices with stick

Mel - do your snatch practice first before you are neurologically fatigued.

OK

Also, Melanie and I talked about it already but never, ever, ever do bench without a spotter.
Also I believe what I said was "Sometimes you have to try to list something you're not sure you can". I think there's a big difference between that and what you have there. :)
