11 OCT: 1 rep maxes
I didn't have a spotter, so I just maxed on two lifts: deadlift and overhead press
Deadlift: 345 lbs.
I pulled 365 up to my knees, then bailed when i felt my back get a little odd. Since I hurt my back doing squats about 2 months ago, i decided not to risk it and just stayed with 345. I feel i could have gotten 355, but why risk it.
Overhead press: 175
Same issue as with deadlifts: lower back posed some limitation. To keep my form solid, I performed the press while seated. This was as much weight as my lower back could stabilize.
I'll get Bench max this week, but will hold off on squat for 3 weeks when I attempt all 4 again.
