Absolutely. Good facility too! Well, keep giviner and if you ever get stuck we'll go for a lift. I'm no coach by any means but I think I have a grip on things.

Squat: 265x3x5
Press: 105x3x5
Deadlift: 290x5

Thought I was gonna fail on the squats a few times. Gonna change to 5 lb increases for squats now and alternate deadlifts with power cleans.

Had a bad headache yesterday and didn't really eat. I didn't think I'd be able to do all 3 full sets of squats but I'm pretty stoked that I could.

Squat: 270x3x5
Bench: 175x3x5
Power Clean: 95x5x3 (weightxsetsxreps-Never clarified at beginning but I assume it's understood)

For PC's I probably could've added more weight but it took me awhile to get the timing for the jump right. Re reading the section and watching videos for it this weekend.

Disappointing workout. I need to eat more.
On a positive note, form for squats seemed better. I focused on not raising my chest too early once it was feeling heavy. Belt and a pair of 1.25lb plates should also be coming in today.

Squat: 275x3x5
Press: 110x3x4
Deadlift: 300x2

Squat: 280x3x5
Bench: 180x3x5
Power Clean: 100x5x3 Working on not pulling the bar, kinda getting the hang of it

Friday, 2017-03-31
Squat: 285x3x5
Press: 110x3x5 switching to 2.5 lb increases now
Deadlift: 300x4 Back rounding on the 5th rep. I think I was too ambitious with my weight increases as well as some other mistakes that I'm too lazy to type out at the moment and I messed up my progression for this lift. Gonna deload.

Monday, 2017-04-03
Squat: 290x3x5
Bench: 185x3x5
Power Clean: 105x5x3

Squats and bench felt pretty solid today. Power cleans were garbage, partly because I was running late for class and was rushing through them. Will be staying at 105 lbs to work on form.

So the semester is coming to an end which means I'm gonna be pretty busy with studying for the next couple weeks. Possible that I won't be doing the program (ie. stalling a lot). I'll try to keep the progression going but remembering to eat enough on some days might be hard.

Squat: 295x2x5, 295x2 ...felt like i might have tweaked something so I stopped, looks like 300 will have to wait til next week
Press: 115x5, 115x3(should've taken a longer break),115x5 ...forgot to bring my 1.25lb plates
Deadlift(deload): 270x5
