JC - Getting y'all up to speed.

Hi everyone,
haven't posted in a while, but I've been keeping track of my recent lifting (past 3 weeks or so) in a journal. Didn't lift all summer. I've been lifting for about a month now consistently (keyword is consistently), and for about 3 weeks with Andrei coaching me and creating my lifting routines. So here's a quick (or maybe not so quick) recap of last 3 weeks of lifting. Note: lifting schedule consists of Monday- Squat, Wednesday- Bench, and Friday- Deadlift.

Deadlift- 8/26/11
Scheduled for 140 kilos (308 lbs), 4 sets of 6 reps
First set I misloaded my mistake, ended up doing 160 kilos (352 lbs) instead.
