Squat and Bench

I took Monday night off as my wife was sick and I was starting to feel a bit run down. I sat down on the bed to get ready to train and woke up a half hour later and decided that that was probably a good sign to hold off for the night.

Tuesday I felt a lot better and felt like I could really push it, so I did.

Squat worked up to 605x1 for a PR
Bench worked up to 405x1 off the airex pad for a PR

Did some light accessory and core and called it a day

Thursday started with ladder drills for quick feet and lateral jumps followed by 280x1 on the log to tie my PR with a miss at 300, and then dropped to 240x7
then I did:

Floor press
225x10x3

Rotational core
   Hammer winds 30# short, 20# normal
   Overhead bar twists
   Standing bar twists

Pullups

Update

Missed posting for a week there, but training went well. High points were squat at 525x7 bench at 325x9 and clean at 355x1x5. Log press was good at 240x7. I also was able to get 280 for a single which is a post ACL surgery PR. I know I should be good for a 300# press but just need to progress to that and build back up to that level. I have been feeling a little sluggish and am playing with the idea of increasing the volume a bit more on the accessory work to get prepared for the higher volume throwing that I will begin in early March. In order to condition in the most specific way, I like to really ramp up the throwing volume in preseason but I want to handle that without issue.

Shoveling absolutely killed my back. I felt that I was good for 10 on the squat, but after the shoveling of very wet snow, then the higher volume on the cleans, I was only able to get 7 before shutting it down.
