    135x10
    225x5

    01/19/15 Monday

    Good day. At RMLC. Being at a real gym makes a big difference for me.

    Squat:

    45x10x2
    135x10
    225x5
    315x2
    365x1 (belt)
    415x5x3 (ties PR)

    The 415 felt easier than the last time I did it, and also felt easier than the 405x5x3 from two weeks ago.

    Bench (middle finger on ring):

    45x15x2
    135x10x2
    185x5
    235x2
    275x1
    302.5x5 (PR)

    First bench PR in about a year. Using proper leg drive is really helping.

    Chest press machine: 45x5, 65x8x3

    Note it's 65 each arm, so 130 total.

    Nice job on the bench PR. 302.5 x5 is pretty legit!

    Thanks. Everything is finally starting to feel pretty good.

    01/20/15 Tuesday

    Deadlift (in kgs):

    60x4x2
    100x4
    140x2
    180x1
    220x1 (belt, hook grip)
    250x1
    212.5x5 (straps)
    200x5

    250kg went up pretty smooth. Happy with this, since it's 5kg off my all time PR of 255kg, which was hard as hell. Backoff sets didn't feel too bad either.

    Hammer curls: 40x10x3

    Short workout today. Have to go again tomorrow probably, which was unplanned.

    Oh, according to my training partner, a random guy in the gym was filming my 250kg pull lol. I want that video!

    01/21/15 Wednesday

    Squat:

    45x10x2
    135x10
    225x5

    That's it. Kept it really light today because this day would usually be tomorrow. 3 days in a row of lifting is rough, and the past two days were heavy squats followed by heavy DLs.

    JM press: 45x8x2, 95x8x3

    Not sure I like these.

    Hammer grip chins: BWx3, BWx8x2

    Right elbow was hurting, cut these short.

    Tricep machine: 90x8, 130x8, 145x8x2

    01/24/15 Saturday

    Squat:

    45x10x2
    135x10
    225x5
    315x2
    365x2 (belt)
    405x1
    435x1
    460x3 (PR)

    5lb triple PR. Form was horrendous though; I was getting forward on every rep. I had the usual Saturday issue: too little food, too much coffee. It was hard to focus and I was shaking. Oh well, it's still a PR.

    Seated press:

    45x10x2
    95x5
    135x3
    140x10x2

    Ab wheel: BWx10x3
    Hammer curls: 40x5, 50x10x3

    Nice job on that PR. With some more food in you you'll crush it better next time.

    Thanks guys. I think I can make progress on my squat for awhile.

    01/26/15 Monday

    Squat:

    45x10x2
    135x10
    225x5
    315x2
    365x5 (belt)

    Was feeling pretty bad and my right arm was going numb so I decided to stop here. I was worried that the heavy squats two days ago would affect it. I was debating doing safety squat bar squats instead. I should have, and I will in two weeks.

    Bench:

    45x15x2
    135x10x2
    185x5
    235x2
    275x1
    292.5x5x3 (PR)

    First volume PR in awhile. Felt pretty good. Didn't have to grind any of the reps. I had a few slower reps when I forgot about leg drive, but they were popping up when I remembered to do it correctly.

    Chest press machine: 45x5, 70x8x3

    01/27/15 Tuesday

    Seated press:

    45x10x2
    95x5x2
    135x3, 135x10x2

    Light day.

    Deadlift (in kgs):

    60x4x2
    100x4
    140x2
    180x1
    220x1 (belt, hook grip)
    225x5 (ties PR)

    Tough set. Probably could've grinded out a 6th rep if I wanted 6, but 5 was the plan. I decided to skip the backoff sets. My right hip was feeling strange from the bad form squats three days ago and I could feel it on the DL warmups. A set of 5 is decent volume anyway compared to, say, a double or triple. I just got out of the gym and my right glute is feeling really, really tight and painful. I'm going to ice it once I get home.

    Ab wheel: BWx10

    Didn't feel like doing more sets.

    Curl machine: 70x5, 100x10x3
