 BW - 231

Waist - 43.5"

BB Curls - 
62.5X11 @7

62.5+ for 3X11 on BB Curls is a Volume PR.  NBD, because I designed the rep ranges for Curls and Press this block to grab some low-hanging Volume PRs.  Also, I took the trouble to weight the straight bar I've been using and discovered it's a ~30 lb. bar, and I thought it was ~20 lbs.  

As above, 97.5 for 3X7 is a Volume PR on Press.  Weight came in lower than I was targeting to start this block, but I've got a bit of discomfort in my right shoulder that seemed to come up doing tempo presses in the pivot.  Food for thought.

Squat went well.  345 is the heaviest weight I've used since the pandemic started and it moved nicely.
