My starting weights were too high. I should have started at a much lower weight so that I could initially add 5lb increments and get my body used to work that it could comfortably do before adding increments that would be more work.

Went over some of the 88 fundamental techniques for the blue belt test. No rolling at the end. I fear there may not be rolling for awhile, as we are focusing strictly on the techniques for the test in June. :(

These all felt pretty good, as they should with the lower weight. It was difficult to find equipment to accommodate such a low press. I could have used a short bar and put plates on but I was pretty short on time. The lower weight barbells were scattered around for some reason. I was pretty happy that both squat racks were free.
Friday I'll increase my work loads by 5lbs. That will still be under what I can comfortable do, but I will use that to work on my forms.
I have to say, I felt a bit like tool loading 2.5lb plates for the squat and deadlift. Oh well. Need small gains to get the big ones.
