It was time to see where my actual 1 RM's are.
Since I do most of power lifting exercises I decided to do a "self PL meet".
The results were a bit surprising as I was sure I would increase my 1 RM on deadlift and improve the depth on my squat. Bench press was a bit disappointing but still an improvement. So I guess I really should not be disappointed.
It was a morning workout and here is how it went:
