    5/2
    Upper

    TnG Bench
    240 x 5 x 5

    Chins
    BW x 6 x 3 sets


    Notes: I need a better warmup for the main lifts. Today on bench went 45x5, 95x5, 135x5, 185x5, 225x2 then work sets. On paper that looks good, but I didnt feel good until about set 3. Maybe I need to do the first couple warmup sets to 10 reps. I will be working on chins from here on out, possibly going into weighted chins for sets of 5 at some point. Gotta get stronger first.

    5/4
    Lower

    Squat
    345 x 2 x 3 sets

    RDL
    185 x 5 x 3


    Notes: Low back has been bugging bad lately. Went really conservative on the squat doubles today. Also, I was supposed to pull from the floor today, a heavy double. I did light RDLs instead. It was still a good session overall though. I have a long way to go if I am going to be able to PR my next meet in Sept.

    5/7
    Heavy Day

    Squat
    315 x 5 x 5

    TnG Bench
    245 x 5 x 5

    DL
    365 x 5


    Notes: Great session. For some reason my low back kills me when I try to put my socks on in my the morning or when I bend over to put my dogs collars on, but I can squat/pull 300+ no problem no pain. Backs are weird. Anyway, I found that doing the "hard" session of the week on Sunday is a good idea since im not as tied up with work and my wife is also home to help with the kids. I will try the Sun-Tue-Thu format for a while. I have 9 weeks until vacation (development), then another 8 weeks until my meet (meet prep).

    5/9
    Light Day

    2ct Pause Squat
    255 x 5 x 2 sets

    Press
    140 x 5 x 3

    Weighted Chins
    (+5lbs) 5, 5, 5


    Notes: Easy day, squats felt like a nice easy stretch. Press is good, about 5 years ago when I was starting SS and pressing regular, I got up to around 170x5 before hitting a wall I think. We will see how long it takes to get back there. For chins, I debated back and forth about increasing reps vs using weight belt. Went with using the weight belt, so I will keep the reps at 5 and go up in load.

    Notes: Did not have the juice for DL, also low back a little tweaky. I will plan on doing a top set of DLs first thing on tuesday, followed by some RDL for some extra pulling volume. Then Do some medium load squats and bench on thursday.
