Leg curls 3x10-12

Set the safety bars on the power rack too high, tapped it, got distracted and couldn't make it back up. My mind was on fail the whole time and no competent spotters available. Resetting at this point since I'm not comfortable benching and squatting without a spotter any further. Going to change up the template a little too as I need to loose some fat. Hopefully strength gains continue but I'm toying with the idea of mandatory resets.

I need to be slapped for starting to make big changes to something that seems to be working. I'm still sore from Monday's squats and 295 felt way heavy. 

Template will go like this now:

Mon - Squats 5/3/1, bench 65%x3, 75%x3, 85%x3, rows 5x10
Tue - Walk/jog, abs, neck
Wed - Squat 65%, 75%, 85%x3, bench 5/3/1, press 3x10 superset with lat pull downs 5x10
Thurs - Walk/jog, abs, neck 
Fri - Squat 65%,75%,85%x3, bench same %, deadlift 5/3/1
Sat/Sun - optional long hike/bike

If anything I'll go to higher percentages on the light days and move from 5/3/1 to 3/5/1

Curls and push-downs while waiting for a rack to open up
Squat 135x5, 155x3, 185x3, 215x3, 245x3, 275x8 @ RPE 8 - Not the best set, a little knee drift again and hips rising a little fast. However, it was easy and the reps were quick.
Side-bends 45x15x3
DB Inclines 55x10x3 - couldn't find the other 50, fair weight though
DB Row 85x10x3 - I'm going to back off the weight and do these with a little more purpose than yanking on the DB. I should really title these things Kroc rows.
