Press: 45# x 3 x 5
Squat: 45# x 5; 55# x 3 x 5
DL: 115# x 5; 130# x 2; 150# (fail)
At Sam's direction via telephone Mac maxed out on DL. After easily getting 130, we decided to go up, and she decided to try 150#. Though more than I was planning to recommend, I went along for the ride, not wanting to be accused of "Moranning" her down to a lower weight. With two tries, she was able to break the weight from the ground on one side but that was it. I thought that once you maxed that was it for the workout, as you're likely exhausted and shouldn't go back down and attempt a lower weight, but I was incorrect. Sam said after she should have tried for 135. From last night's performance, I think her max right now is probably around 140.

But since she failed at 150, she didn't max. Going from 130 to 150 is "only" 20#, but that's a big jump in percentage. 5# increments would have been better.
If a failed attempt ended my workouts they would be 1/2 as long.
That Mac is fearless!
