Weight is 182.

Knees were sore, so just did intensity instead of 3x5.

Press: 3x5x165 @ 10
Belted.

BB row: 3x5x195 @ 8

Gordon: 4/22

Squat: 1x10x225 @ 7

Bench: 3x5x245 @ 9, 10, 10
Lockout was uneven, with the left elbow more flared on the way up. Re-arched on rep 4.

Crunches: 25, 10+10lbs

Gordon: 4/20

Weight is 185.

Squat: 3x5x375 @ 9, 9, 10
At or below depth. Lost balance a little on last set, and knees were coming in 1-2 inches. Gotta keep them out. Used more bounce so each rep's speed felt ok.

Bench: 1x5x240 @ 9

Press: 3x5x160 @ 10, 10, 10
Belted.
Pretty slow. Will go up by 2.5 now.

Chin up: 10, 8, 6

Gordon: 4/15 & 4/18

4/15/10

Front squat: 3x5x145 @ 8

No squat racks open so I did these for light squats

Press: 3x5x155 @ 9, 9, 10

Deadlift: 1x5x365 @ 9

The warm up at 365 felt heavy, so I just did this weight again.

Ab roller: 3x10 from knees

4/18/10
This was at a ski resort gym so there were no squat racks

Bench: 5, 5, 4 x 240 @ 10, 10, F

Couldn't lock out last rep, technique and barpath were sloppy too.

BB Row: 3x5x185 @ 9, 9, 9

Curls: 2x8x30 supine, 2x8x25 hammer

Weighted crunches: 3x10x10

Gordon: 4/13

Weight is 184.

Squat: 1x5x385 @ 10
Form broke down on last rep, probably a bit high, knees came in, and paused on the way up. I wanted to test my current 5rm, and also to try something a bit heavier since I haven't squatted higher than 370 for like a month.

Bench: 3x5x235 @ 9, 9, 10
Moved my grip in half an inch on each side. I think it helps to keep my elbows tucked and not flare so much on the way up.

Pull ups: 3x8

Ab roller: 3x10

From knees.

Gordon: 4/11

Weight is 183. Probably going to switch to a Heavy-Light alternating schedule for squats, since my weight's going up so gradually and I'm having trouble recovering between 2 heavy sessions. Bench and deadlift programming will stay the same.

Squat: 2x5x275 @ 8

Press: 3x5x150 @ 9, 9, 10

Curls: 8@65; 5, 4, 3@ 85

Squat: 3x5x370 @ 10, 10, 10
Very slow... losing too much weight made these pretty tough haha

Gordon: 4/4

Weight is still 183.

Squat: 3x5x365 @ 9, 10, 10
Went lighter because I haven't squatted heavy in a week. At or below depth, the last rep was almost paused coming up.

Bench: 5x240 @ 10; 2x5x230 @ 9, 9
Went too heavy on the 1st set, so dropped down.

Chin ups: 10, 10, 8

Squat: 2x5x275 @ 7

Belted at 2nd set. Repeated weight from last time, still didn't get it. Will repeat one more time and reset if necessary.

Rounded more with each rep, and couldn't lock out last rep >.< Will repeat this weight, hopefully with better form, next time.

Weight is 186. My tummy hurt this week so I didn't eat much ;_;

Below or at depth. Slow on the way up. Right knee coming in slightly on some reps.

Belted. Weight loss and not enough gas in the tank affected my presses. Will repeat this weight next time.

Chin ups: 10, 8, 8 x bw

Weight is 187. Didn't eat enough this weekend.

At or below parallel.

Gordon: 3/11

Weight is 189.

Squat: 3x5x360 @ 9
All reps at or below parallel. Had new squat shoes today, the Do-win 2010s. Feels more stable, but changes the way squats feel. Moved stance a bit wider and toes slightly more forward. I think my knees are also more forward, while more of the work is done by quads and back.
Rene suggested sitting back more. Per Nate, did more warm up sets to get used to shoes, then the work sets were fine.

Bench: 3x5x215 @ 8, 9 , 9
Eric called pauses.

Got to gym too late for pull ups.

Gordon: 3/9

Squat: 2x5x275 @ 8

Press: 3x5x150 @ 8, 9, 9

Need to get under the bar faster so that I avoid pressing with the bar in front of me.

Deadlift: 1x5x405 @ 9
The hard part is still pulling it off the ground. Then it's ok.

Ab roller: 3x10
From knees.
