I didn't bench more than the bar because I was too bruised up from a stupid skiing incident ( I've been skiing for 20+ years and nothing like that has ever happened, but I ended up going over a little dip in the flat run out part under the cirque and it threw all 305 pounds of me forward right over my skis. My chest hit hard against some pretty hard packed snow. The doctor said that I strained/bruised my sternum. ) I just tried to stretch out and get things moving a little, and I helped Stump a little. I was able to do some tricep cable extensions and that was about it. Moving the bar around seemed to help though.
Sunday:
Normally this would have been my max effort squat day but I didn't want to push it given I'm still a little bruised up ( but it's healing ). I did leg presses for the first time since I started squatting. Back then I probably would have put 4 plates on each side and called it good, but today I was able to really load the thing up and do reps with what had to be over 850 pounds ( I'm not sure how much the machine itself weights ). I made sure that I went below "parallel" or what would be parallel if I was really doing squats. After that I did leg curls, leg extensions and some calf work. I miss doing squats! But I'm healing quick and I'm sure next time I'll be back squatting again.
