Squats 3x5 125lbs

Clean grip high pulls from floor:
1x3 115lbs
1x3 125lbs
1x3 135lbs

I'm going to go light to moderate on these B workout days and heavy every 5th day on the A workouts and see how it goes.

Pressing 115 is stronger than pressing 112. You're less weak than you used to be. I salute you.

In case you're still thinking of buying a barbell I have had great experiences with the Rogue Ohio bar.

Thanks hector. I just got a Rogue 2.0 all purpose bar. I don't think I'll be loading more than 315lbs on it unless I get T injections. I haven't used it yet but have already scuffed the black finish rolling it on my rack. I'll see if I can return it for a new one

Trap bar dead, low handle grip:
1x5 270 lbs

Standing OHP:
1x3 115 lbs

I'm hitting a wall with the presses. I'm going to do 2 working sets of 5 reps at 90% for a few weeks and try to work up to a 115x5 set

Breaking in my new Rogue 2.0 bar. It feels pretty good, but then anything would be an improvement over the 50 year old bent, smooth bar I've been using.

I'm going to do 2 back off sets with 95lbs instead of 1 until I can do 5 reps in the work set

I think this is a good plan.

I might start doing these on my light days. I have to watch I don't hit my head on the ceiling and knock myself out
