Weight (Friday): 189 lb

Notes: This is the de-load week built into the 5/3/1 program, so the weights are all pretty light.  So light, in fact, that I felt fresh enough to try some (*) "I bet I can bench/squat X" lifts, in this case with 200 and 225 lbs, respectively.  I'm pretty sure I could have gone higher, but I needed to test these numbers to be sure.  I went 4 days in a row because I had an out-of-town trip Friday through Monday, and I'll likely be doing the same thing again this week.  I'm also adding a lot of shrugging, because I'm noticing that my trapezius really aren't where I want them to be, and I feel like that's holding back my overhead presses.
