School Book of Records
I did 4 events.
Pullups: 1 (not so good, he didn’t count my pullups because I didnt lock up on top or else I would have done 12 total)
60yd dash: Made it through the heats, there were three heats of 4 kids lol. Came in third…my teammate won and broke the record running a 6.09.
Bench Press: Weighed in at 161.5, so I was middleweight, 155 lbs. I benched 155 for 6 reps…
Standing Long Jump: Third place…7’6.5"…first was 8’4"
Well, that was my school day haha. Didnt bother bringing my bookbag.
Gym later in the day, 8PM:
Box Squat: Worked up to 3RM of 295 then tried for 300…lost a lot of strength on the lift so I managed 1 rep.
Bulgarian Split Squat 3x8 per leg (35s, 40s, 45s)
RDLs with added ROM with one step ladder: 3x8,8,6 (135, 145, 165)

Notes: Wow, I did 6 reps for the 155…not surprised but I havent done flat bench in a while, wasnt expecting that. But then again, I rep 155 for 5+ reps on the incline so it should transfer to flat bench, right?
As for gym work, usual leg workout. Got killed. DeFranco knows his stuff…damn.
