    12/2

    Squat 395x5
    bench 265x3,3,3,3,5
    deadlift w/ 140 lbs band tension at top - 225x2, 315x2, 405x1, 455x1, 485x1 (harder than I wanted. Only wanted something moderately heavy here and I had to grind way too much.)

    Had a stomach bug today. Happy just to make it through the workout without crapping my pants or spewing. I have been working the banded deadlifts (the short bands you stand on) as one of my deadlift variations for about half a year. However, I find they are impossible to consistently load. Sometimes I can do 510+ bands and sometimes only 465+ bands, despite my pull w/ straight weight being no weaker. For that reason, I put the bands in the garbage can today after the workout. Next Friday's workout should be fun: 400x5 squat and 580 deficit deadlift are planned.

    12/6

    Squat 380 5x5
    Press 200x3 (failed 4th)
    db row 120 2x15

    Squats felt great today. By the time I got around to pressing, only the 55lb squat bar was available. Since I hate pressing that thing, I just loaded 200 on it and saw how many reps I could do.

    12/10

    Squat 400x5
    3.5" Deficit Deadlift 580x1 (PR)
    Speed Deadlifts 335 5x2
    Bench press 275 5x3

    Happy to get the Squat and deadlift I was aiming for on a day where I definitely wasn't on top of my game. Usually I can pull about 40 lbs more from the ground than from this deficit, so I'd estimate my deadlift at 620 right now.

    12/15 light recovery day

    squat 225 2x5
    bench 135 3x5
    pullups bwx5, bw+60 3x4, bwx5

    Pullups felt the best they've ever felt at any bodyweight. My legs felt like dried poo, though. Hopefully they can recover adequately for Saturday's workout.

    starting strength coach development program
    12/20

    Squat 390 5x5
    Press 190 3x4
    db row 120 2x16

    The 390 was no harder than 385 last week. That said, it was hard as fuck. Looking at a meet on 2/25/11. Might start scaling back the volume on squats via lowering the reps on volume day.
