Ab crunch (ball):

BW x 15 x 3

Had the intention to do a lot more assistance work than that, but on my last set of deads my right hamstring cramped up pretty bad. Since I plan on testing 1RM so soon I decided to call it there instead of potentially injuring myself for no reason. Lame and frustrating.

Couldn’t do assistance this evening, had other things I needed to take care of. Pretty happy with 385 lbs for 9 reps – calcs out to 500 lbs so that’s a new PR for me by a couple pounds. It’s about time I start getting a new PR here and there.

Had a good time benching today, which for those that know how much I dislike this lift, is a nice change.
