Announcements:  Today we will meet in the 3rd floor weight room, please show up as early as possible to claim some space!!  You will work with a partner, so pair up with someone of near equal size and ability.

Equipment needed:  Towel and motivation!

Warm-up and instruction:  Matt will lead the group through the back squat and Adam will discuss the bench press.  Everyone will have a chance to practice each as they warm-up.

WOD:

5-5-5-5

Back squat and bench press

NOTE:  There is no time component for this WOD, focus on proper form and don't rush to failure! Take your time to warm-up and be sure to use a spotter while doing the bench press.  
NOTE2:  You and your partner can start with either the bench press or back squat and you can either alternate between bench and squats or you can do all 4 x 5 of squats and then do 4 x 5 of bench.  

Post loads for bench and squats to comments.

Got my weights from Wendler's 5/3/1 program for the most part:

Squat:
5x160
5x185
5x205
215x4x1

Strict Press:
5x75
5x85
5x95
6x100

Got to figure out a better place to put the bar. The low bar squats make me lean forward too much

Didn't push the limits on bench today without a spotter. Otherwise felt pretty good. Did some Olympic technique work to finish out.
