Bench and Squat and Rowing

Wednesday
Bench:
45 x 15
150 x 3
170 x 3
190 x 3
205 x 1
215 x 1
225 x 1
235 x 1
(245) x 1

Left shoulder is still twingey. I decided to bench narrow, and 235 is an all time PR for me with a narrow grip. I went wide again at 245 and missed. I probably should have tried it narrow.

Thursday Squat:
45 x 5
135 x 5
185 x 3
230 x 3
260 x 3
295 x 3

Just for the hell of it, Inzer Champion, straps down:
315 x 1
straps up:
(345) I didn't like the feel of this at all as soon as I unracked it, so I just racked it and quit for the day. I have a 20 rep PR attempt in the works for tomorrow, so I didn't feel a need to overwork. I was curious about using gear while training for raw competition. After today I doubt it's worth the hassle. I don't think I'll touch gear again until I hit some big numbers raw.

Rowing:
I'm happy with my progress in the 500 and 1000 meter intervals. Probably the 1500 is the only one that really matters when training for a 2000, and I'll see where I'm at on that tomorrow. It would be nice to finish the year with a 5:15 1500, especially if I don't have to push to do it.
