190 lbs @ 1x5.
220 lbs @ 1x5.
252.5 lbs @ 1x5.

First squat set was done slowly and deliberately, sped it up as the weight got higher, they were done very easily and quickly. Press sets were done with very small amounts of rest but completed easily. Deadlift was more difficult than I would like, the belt seemed like it was hindering my back set up, didn't like it.

The squats were fairly easily done, 260 felt easier than last time around, squatting heavy makes the last set of eight seem surprisingly easy. Bench press form wasn't as tight as I would like but I lifted it alright. Power cleans as always were more difficult with the smaller weights than the bigger one.

Well, I have screwed this up again, in that I didn't add five pounds to the first four sets.

I wasn't happy with how the squats felt, they just felt off. Bench press was easy, was confident in my ability to do it without a spotter. Got lucky this time, can't afford same gamble in the future. Power cleans felt very relieving, very good.

Deadlift: 170 lbs @ 1x5.
200 lbs @ 1x5.
230 lbs @ 1x5.
260 lbs @ 1x5.

Squats were very easy, done quickly. Press was fast and powerful, too far ahead of my face for my liking, have to work on that. Deadlift was done in running shoes for the first two sets, wised up before the last two though, didn't chalk up before last set just as my palms began to sweat, got kind of close to dropping the bar.

Squats were easy, last set was a grinder, though. Was happy with form overall. Bench press was done easily, going to have to make the lockout better. Power cleans were over all quite easy, done with the sleeves on boxes to make it like I was cleaning 45s.

Did some snatches afterwards, failed miserably, in addition to getting a thousand pound overall, I've added being able to snatch my body weight to my goals.

This was a grueling session, didn't have usual access to food, but went well. Squats got difficult around 235, 265 was a grinder but I buried it. Bench press was very easy, went through almost all the sets with no rest, wasn't happy with wrist position during last set. Power clean was hard, even with long rests between them they still killed me.

A very difficult workout, just before cleans I had to run tell my brother about the handkerchief code so he would stop using a blue bandana, could barely run up the stairs I was so tired.

Squats were easy, done in quick succession. Press was easy for the most part, got kind of hard toward the end. Deadlifts were more disappointing than my son, and unlike my son, they didn't hang themselves in a truck stop bathroom. Didn't like grip at all, back wasn't set well. Need to fix these damn form issues.

That's about what I figured. Looks like you're gaining.

You just not getting set before you pull, on the deadlift? Or having trouble setting up?

I feel like I'm able to set up but once I pull my upper back feels like it is rounding a lot. I already think I have a good solution for them but that's going to be next Wednesday so won't worry about it now.
