Didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Only had some hot chocolate.
245x5x3 Squat. 5, 5, 6. Felt amazing. Good resistance but I wasn't anywhere close to failing. I did a 6th rep on the last...

245x5x3 Squat. Got 5, 5, 2. This felt heavy, but I am surprised that I failed on the last set. Today I lifted in my tennis shoes because I forgot to take my Chuck Taylors with me. This...

It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been pretty busy with school and my lifting has suffered. I've started to get back into the habit though luckily.
225x5x3 Squat. Felt...

Wow, what a long break from lifting. I went back home to San Diego after my finals were over and during that time I didn't lift.
Squat Tried 240. Only got 240x3. Then I got 230x4. Then...

Squat 245x5x3. Didn't feel too hard, but this wasn't totally ATG.
Overhead Press. 95x5x3. Deloaded. This actually felt pretty heavy still. I got it with good form though. No...

Squat 240x5x3 ATG. Felt good. Getting harder.
Bench Press 160 5, 4, 5, 5. I failed the 2nd set because I only rested for about 2 minutes after the first one and I really wanted to try...

235x5x3 Squat. ATG. Really really easy. I think I'll be able to get 255 when I reach it again.
115x5x2. 95x5x1. Military Press I got 115x5x2 but with really shitty form. I'm having a...

Squat 230x5x3 ATG. Easy and Good.
Bench 160x5x5. 5, 5, 4, 4, 4. Haha, I really wanted to get the 5th rep. I basically did 5 sets today. I actually got the closest to the 5th rep on the...

A good workout today.
Squat I did 215x5x2, then I did one at 225x5x1 ATG. I'll probably do 220x5x3 ATG next time. It felt good and easy, like it should. I just want to work on getting...

I decided to go lower on squat cause I think i'll probably deload on it.
200x5x3 Squat, This was really easy. Ass to grass.
110x5x3 Overhead Press. This was also pretty easy.
275x5x1. I...

Horrible workout today.
255x5x2 (3, 3). Then did 225x5x1. Squat
Bench 155 5, 4, dunno about the 3rd one because the guy spotting me helped me up too much, didn't know he would do that. ...
I've been training BJJ for about 8 months, but only about 6 months constantly. These last 2 months have been hectic for me and I have been going sparingly(5 times in one month or so.)

Didn't eat before lifting. Just had a cup of iced coffee 20 minutes before.
Slept 6 hours.
As expected, bad results.
255x5x2(5, then 2) This sucked. Went down to 240x5x1.
Overhead...
