    Pendlay row 115 x 3 x 5
    Lying triceps exception 35 x 3 x 8

    Nothing bad to report. LTEs could have been 45lbs, but I'm playing it conservatively.

    Squat 200 x 3 x 5
    Deadlifts 215 x 5

    Squats were easy; second set, reps three and five might have been a little high, but otherwise they're getting more consistent in a good way.
    Deadlifts went okay; needed a little time between reps three through five. The bar drifted forward on rep four making it a much harder lift than it needed to be.

    Deads I'm rolling back to five pound jumps, it's just a matter of whether it's next session or the session after.

    Pendlay row: 120 x 3 x 5

    First set was about half cheat reps where my torso popped up a little. Second and third sets were a lot better.

    Well, this was supposed to be second squat day, but there's a lot of pain in the middle of both quads, and it doesn't feel like DOMS. Off to foam roll.

    Bench press 145 x 3 x 5

    All good and easy; felt like I had a lot in the tank afterwards.

    Squat 205 x 3 x 5
    Deadlift 225 x 5

    Squatting was good; noth quads are mostly healed; the right one still has a knot in it, but not terrible. Still getting a little forward of mid-foot, so I need to get more consistent with the cue to SIT DOWN. Also, forgot to put my chucks on for the first set and got foot cramps most on the left arch and ball.
    Deadlifts got loose on rep three and the bar came forward off the platform; need to spend more time getting SET before pulling. I'm also wondering how long I can continue to do 10lb jumps.

    LTE 55 x 3 x 5
    Barbell curls 45 x 3 x 5

    LTEs went way up, as expected.
    Barbell curls are new; I was surprised I couldn't get 65lbs up five times.

    Kneeling overhead press 90 x 3 x 5

    First set was tougher than I thought; two and three went very quick and proper.

    Figured I'd try this variant as standing OHP is impossible in the basement gym. Didn't suck.

    That seems like it'd throw your center of gravity off big time, much more so than sitting or standing.

    starting strength coach development program
    Squat 210 x 3 x 5
    Deadlift 235 x 5

    Squats rocketed out of the hole. All squat sessions should feel this light. One or two reps were a little forward but not by much.
    Deadlifts, on the other hand... this is the last of the ten-pound jumps. Really gassed me out, finally. Rep three and four were forward of the shins and it felt it.

    I have an open question on the various not-standing presses already. No consensus.
