    Late posting, early workout.

    Squat: 2605x5x3
    Press: 150x5x3
    Deadlift: 315x5
    Weight: 263
    Sleep: 8 hours
    Foodstuffs: Steak, 4 eggs, pudding, turkey, plum, 2/3 gal milk, 1 cup rice, steak, 3 scoops whey, creatine mono, 2 bannana

    Links: Worksets 7/11/17 - YouTube
    -Also included a backoff set of 225x2 just to see if my back was straight

    Felt pretty good, and figured out I need to straighten wrists more on the press. Unsure if my L back is rounding on deadlift (except for last rep) or if its just some love handles and how my shirt goes over my butt. I'll be seeing what I can do later today with powercleans.

    Things felt pretty good. I think I've figured out how to straighten my back on the pulls better, but I still suck at putting the weight down.

    Pressing on.

    Squat: 270x5x3
    Press: 152.5x5x3
    Deadlift: 315x"2"x2
    Weight: n/a
    Foodstuffs: not nearly enough; 1 cup rice, 1 chicken breast, 2 Chipolte double chicken guacamole burritos

    Squats and presses feel great. Watching Comrade Wolf and Doktor Feigenbaum press is very helpful. However, my deadlift continues to be the problem child that I want to do well in school, but refuses to do his homework. I thought that one issue might be that my stance was to narrow, forcing my washboard abs into my legs, so I did some vertical jumps outside today to see where I was. My DL stance was 6-8 inches, while my jump stance was 9+, so I'll be trying a wider stance for my future pulls.

    Also, I ate a rotisserie chicken for lunch today and I heartily recommend it.

    Cleans are looking cleaner (not to be confused with cleanier, which would imply my form was less cleany or clean-esque before)

    Squat: 275x6,5,6
    Bench: 220x5x3
    Powerclean: 165x3x5
    Chins: BWx2,1,0; Negativesx5x3
    Sleep: 7 hours
    Foodstuffs: chicken, bannana, 2 bags carrots, 2 plum, apple w/ pbutter, 2 turkey sandwhiches, 2/3 gal milk, croissant, creatine mono

    Links: Worksets 7/18/17 - YouTube

    Felt wonky going in and botched the count for 2 sets of squats (the form was not ideal either). Shaped up though and had a great bench session. Widening my stance for the clean was amazing, and I'll be trying it for the DL shortly. Also considering throwing in some light prowler work on my off days.

    Also gonna try to make it to a SS seminar, provided I can get a friend or three to help with the 11 hour drive.

    Adding light squat on Tuesday. Deadlift felt pretty good, but I'll keep working on it.

    Squats felt very wonky. Looking forward to light squat day Tuesday. Was too far back on my 2nd bench set, but looking at the video it wasn’t too bad. Cleans felt good, though there may be an hint of an arm pull that I will need to annihilate with extreme prejudice. Gonna try some light prowler work tomorrow (today)(Sunday) to facilitate recovery, and really looking forward to deadlifting.

    Also, turns out a girl who goes to my gym holds a Virginia powerlifting record and did the CrossFit games. Her lifts were apparently ~ 370 deadlift, 305 squat, and 180 bench in training. Somehow, I forgot to mention that my deadlift was lower than hers despite my having over 100 lbs on her…

    My thoughts on light squats.

    Deadlift: 295x5, 315x2*
    Press: 157.5x5x3
    Light Squat: 225x5x3
    Weight: 269
    Sleep: 7 hours
    Foodstuffs: No idea.

    Deadlifts were meh, which is why I tried again later with higher hips. Kind of had more success, but was obviously a bit burned out. Will be posting a form check. Also need to focus more when warming up for all lifts.

    edit: I have no idea why the video doesn't have my crappy light squats.

    And things weren’t at their worst yet.
