ACCIDENTAL PR BY FIVE POUNDS!!!

My bar math sucks, LOL. So I had 75# on the bar (a 10# and a 5# on each side) and thought it was only 65#. So I peeled off the 5# plates and replaced them with 10# plates, thinking my bar now weighed 75#. I expected to have trouble pressing 75# – my PR is/was 80# and I haven’t done shoulder presses in something like 45 days. Sure enough, it was a bit slow coming up. Then I stepped back from the bar and looked at it, hard, and my brain was all like “that bar don’t look right”. Then it said “holy shit, that’s 85 pounds, you can’t lift that”. Then my shoulders were all like “shut up brain, u r teh stupids. I lifted it an ima gonna lift it again, watch dis” – and I lifted it AGAIN. So yea, new 1RM PR – right before I re-start the 603 PTP program again.
