3RM Bench 
115KGx3

1RM Box Squat 
155KGx1

I got a little carried away with the box squat since I haven't done it for a long time and it wasn't paused or anything but fuck it I'm still counting it as a PR. Recorded my set of 90x11 bench as well. With the bench I really struggled with the last 2 reps because I was determined that I'd push out 11. Here's the video.

sick man!!

bench was flying up early in the 90 kg x 11. re: struggling at the end, those kinds of "high rep" sets are sooo good for hypertrophy.

only criticism of the box squat is: just seemed to dive bomb onto the box a bit .. just be careful with that IMHO, especially since you haven't been doing box squats, your spine could be like "wtf" when you land on the bench that hard/fast. AELS!.. but ya, sometimes you just need to go get it, but when sitting on a box with weight on your shoulders, IMHO always control it as much as possible.

great lift tho and sick PR's and sick vid!

+1 with adarq post. With box squat you want to not lose tension so when you sit back you just to touch and then come straight back up. Relaxing causes your knees to come in and back relaxes.

Great job with the bench press.

nub question: what does aels stand for? 
EDIT: nvm after searching found it. Anti Ego Lifting Support

have you been wondering that for years?

AE*S = Anti Ego <*> Squad

so, s/Support/Squad

or ya Anti Ego Lifting Support Group

but ya, .. when we say AELS etc, just a quick way to help us NOT do something negative (stupid/excessive/dangerous/risky), by associating it with something positive.

not doing "stupid stuff" is very difficult when the adrenaline is flowing and we are locked in, so remembering there is a squad/support group out there can help

pc!

MASSIVE 1KM PR:

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg138145/#msg138145

CRUSHED MY 1KM ESTIMATED PR, SUB3 @ 2:56 (-4s) @ ~4:43min/mi pace/12.7mph

Also best estimated (PR) 400m @ 61s.. but it was 63s on the track. very solid fast/effort.
