Squat... all the warmup sets were great, but I think the first three reps at 315 were questionable. The last two were good stuff, though. Bench felt good. I didn't bench 'two plates,' but I did get the bar up once. Failed halfway through the second rep (which didn't touch my chest.) The latter set was similar in that the first rep was good, and the second rep didn't touch my chest, but the barbell went all the way up on rep 2 there. Yay, a 2-plate bench 'officially.'

Deadlift was embarrassing. After failing on double-overhand, I went for right-prone-left-supinated grip. Did one rep, and then switched grips...failed halfway up. Then I deloaded to 335 and couldn't do a rep... then to 315... then finally to 225 before I could lift the damned barbell back onto the rack.

Did lots of chinups during my final hours in this gym, along with some embarrassing failures on the press - I tried and couldn't do a single rep at 130 afterward. I get fatigued real fast on the press. So, since there isn't much to say about the chinups (all dead-hang! awesome), I'll just comment that this was the last time I went to this gym. Only on this last week did I visit the gym early on weekdays, and there are some really damned hot women there. Including a pregnant woman and another woman who looks exactly like her. Distracting as hell and makes it really hard not to stare. (In addition, they seem to be in every direction, too, so it's literally hard to find a place to look besides at them, too.) That'll be one nice thing about school - almost no chicks in the weight section, heh.
