Week 3 Squats-Deads and Bench for Relentless

Squats went pretty good considering the issues I've had lately.  I was in some new Ace briefs for the second time and am back in my Jack squat suit.  I have gained a little bit of weight...  Up to almost 305 now.  Everything fit pretty good and I felt comfortable with the weight on my back.  I was definitely high and I'll be working on that.  Pulling heavy afterward is something that I am coming to like, so far.  I worked up to a triple with 585.  Here is the video:

Warm-ups on my bench felt really good and I thought I was going to do well getting back in my shirt.  Not so.  The added body-weight has my shirt off.  I have never had a problem with touching in this shirt since the first time I put it on.  I couldn't get to a 2 board with 455 do I knew something was up.  Then my thumbs started going numb.  I pulled on the sleeves and tried to work my bicep around and it did help some.  I was supposed to do triples and got to 565 and when I hit my second rep to a 1.5 board I slipped and almost lost it.  I just racked it and tried to wipe off and sprayed a little stickum on my back.  I took 600 next and the first rep was super ugly and slow and I slipped again.  Something popped in my left forearm so i shut it down.  I got the shirt off and everything was fine, no marks or bruising on my forearm so it must have been nothing big...  I finished with a set of 20 reps close grip with 225.   Here is video:

So now I'm waiting on a new shirt that should arrive any day now. Really looking forward to Relentless.
