Trevor and Jordan thought it would be a good idea (and I don't disagree) to go to the Monkey Vault one last time before I left. The workout above was actaully the first thing I did when I got into the gym. I'm ecstatic that my 1RM from last week has become my 5RM again. I guess I just needed to get my body back into the groove of benching. Nothing else much to report as far as the workout goes. Although, later, I did manage to bench 225lbs with a spot. I could probbaly comfortably do 215, which makes me pretty happy, too.

While I was at the Vault, hbw and Stephen came in and wanted to know if I was squatting (since I was in the weight room). Turns out everyone has wanted to see me squat! The day before, of course, was a high-rep squat day that nearly killed me (not literally), and I was feeling pretty sore, but I figured I could just attempt a light max out. So I worked up slowly and got to 295lbs for one. I didn't want to do any higher than that given my state, but it was fun and it's nice to know I'm back there and probably back to 315 for one on a good and fresh day.

The rest of the time was spent goofing off in the gym. A few vaults, a few runs, one poorly executed front flip into the foam pit. Was fun.
