Met G at Coles this morning for a little Friday bench and deads session. He's stronger at the bench, and I'm a little stronger at the deads, so hopefully we can both bump our numbers up. Right shoulder still limiting me in the bench, dropped the last rep of the last set at 145 again.
Deads felt nice and solid, focused on getting a nice straight linear pull off the ground. Might bring a camera to get some video next time, will help with the technique adjustment. Highlight of the morning for me: one of the student employees came over to G and wanted to know if he was wearing "approved pants". Given that they were capris, I bet they were fashionista-approved for sure...

Hey K, it was nice working out wit you, but I would have said that I am a little stronger on the bench and you are LOTS stronger on the deadlift.
I can't edit your post, so here are my numbers:
BP (6x5): 115, 145, 150, 155, 160, 145
DL: 135x5, 185x5, 225x3
You forgot to mention that you almost dropped the weight on your feet after seeing a guy in the mirror working is pelvic thrust on a big ball...
Yeah, not exactly what you want to glimpse in the mirror as you hit full extension on a heavy dead.
To be fair, it was more of a rolling lambada type motion than a thrust.
Woo benching partners.
You really do see the oddest things in your gym. I have never seen anyone pelvic thrust a ball.
My gym is probably a little more meat-heady though. They literally have 14 benches, not including incline/decline. Wouldn't catch them thrusting at a ball for anything.
I have seen numerous versions of the pelvic thrust: towards a mat, into a ball, standing up with hands on hips...
14 benches - your pecs must be huge!
