And That's Why You Always Log Your Workouts
I think it's time to take another shot at logging my training. I quit updating my old log a little over a year ago but haven't missed much training in that time. However, I haven't made a ton of progress either. I'm hoping by logging again I'll see better progress going forward.
Old log: http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=31170
Let's get to it:
Wednesday January 7, 2014
Seated Press
45x5x2
65x5
95x3
135x3
157.5x5
135x5x4
I do seated presses during the winter due to low ceilings. I'll take a bar outside when it's warmer out and press there, but I've gotten enough carryover that this way that I live with it although it's not optimal.
Close Grip Bench
45x5
135x5
225x5x3

I am very glad there some of you picked up the reference. I was afraid it may be too obscure. Of course I should have been more confident given the popularity of the AD camp out thread from a few years back!
But seriously, like the guy in the $9,000 dollar suit isn't going to get to his workout:
Friday January 9, 2014
Squat
45x5x2
135x5
225x3
275x5
325x5x2
Deadlift
225x5
355x5
Back in October, I slightly pulled a hammy. As I finished the Starr rehab and got back close to a true workset, I tweaked my back. I'm working back up with twenty pound jumps here.

Finally got back at it tonight.
Wednesday January 14, 2015
Bench
45x5x2
135x5x2
225x3x2
265x2
287.5x4 PR
267.5x5x3
Seated Press
125x5x3
I was shooting for five on the bench. It ended up being a PR only because I never really program fours. I haven't decided if I'll go for five again next week or maybe just cycle down to threes then singles before I move to a 3 week rotation.
On a much brighter note, I picked up an R3 from Rogue this weekend and finally have it all set up. I ended up burning the midnight oil the last two nights getting the platform put together so I could actually get some training done this week. The rack is a huge upgrade from what I was using in terms of sturdiness and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. I just need to pick up one more horse stall mat to complete the platform but it's still useable for the time being.

Squat
45x5x2

225x3
315x2
365x5 PR
327.5x5
327.5x3
327.5x5x2
Depth was questionable on the top set. I'm struggling with the slightly new camera angle truly judging the depth. Regardless, I must have the worst squat form of any member who has been around for more than a year. Bar path is a mess and these are the opposite of smooth.
I'll post this to my form check thread to see if anyone can provide additional insight.
I almost threw up the water I took down after my first back off set, so I had to rack the set right there, hence the random triple.
Despite all the doom and gloom, my squat is moving as well as it has in a long time. I really think if I can clean up my form and really find the bounce at the bottom, things will continue moving along nicely.

I particularly like having plates on each side so you don't have to carry 45's an extra few feet(srs)
What kinda floor mat is that?
