However, although I felt strong and every lift through 295 was smooth, I wasn't feeling the magic. Nonetheless, I bumped to 305 for a single and then 315 for a single. I'm determined to establish 315 as simply a routine lift. At that point, I debated stopping - there wasn't anyone in the weight room at the time whom I trusted to spot - just a lot of people I didn't recognize at all. But I really wanted to walk out with a PR to break through so I added 5. I figured I could hit 320 without a spot and that would be enough for the time being. Hit it smoothly for the record. If I'd had a spotter I would have been more aggressive. But that will be for another day. Dropped to 235 for 10 to finish. I was surprised at how much I felt the difference between a final set at 225 and 235 - the increase should really pay off over the next few weeks.

After that went to the bike and elliptical to get my legs back. More abs, med ball twists and shoulder winds. Then, bar curls up to a set of 5 at 95.

Walked out of the gym very satisfied with the session.
Nice, VERY nice!!!
