Good workout today. Eliminating the singles before the 5x5 gave me more energy. I know that sounds like a duh, but sometimes I have to learn the hard way. I'm also almost back on schedule, (I usually lift MWF) so I will get 2 rest days in a row soon. w00t. BW @231 only 10 more pounds to go to fill out that 242 class. Monday is going to be a PR attempt at 5x5 with 380 for sets across, as well as tying a PR for ramping 's on bench with 245x5.

Man I am getting tired.
Squat 380x5, 380x5, 380x5, 380x5, 380x1 (Basically I just quit)
Bench 145x5, 170x5, 195x5, 220x5, 245x5 This on the other hand got crushed.
Row 135x5, 145x5, 155x5, 165x5, 175x5 Started doing them right and now I feel them much more in my lats.
I am really really ready for 2 days off in a row and for this volume block to be over. Next week I am going to try for 400 5x5 on the squat if I feel good. I am just chalking today up to accumulated fatigue. I will have 3 days off in a row before the 400 5x5 so I think I will be ready. 380 5x5 didn't feel ridiculous or anything I just got really really tired by the end. 3 days rest though, watch out.
How do you guys handle people squatting/deadlifting badly at the gym? Lately I've been intervening but I'm not always sure that is the best approach. I tell people that I'm not an expert, just here is what works for me... Thoughts?

Not to keep repeating myself but I just didn't have it this week. I do have 3 days off in a row though, hopefully I can push some 5RM maxes next week before I start dropping reps and increasing weights.

Squatting has sure taken a dive lately. Probably too much volume. next week is a full deload so hopefully that will help. On the flip side, bench has been going up, up, up. Felt like I would have been good for 260-265 but I stripped weight at the last sec because I didn't want to miss any reps. Oh well. Another day.
