Monday 4/02/18, 13:15, M 62yo, 5'9.5", BW=193.2lb, Waist=33.5in, Kcal/day (7 day average)=2888

Deadlift: 305x5, 345x5, 385x0 (miss-1), 305x6, 305x5
SGDL [straps]: 305x0 (miss-5) Got it about an inch off the floor. Tried twice but it was not to be today. About a month ago I got 300x5 on this so I am going to blame the sessions missed due to the flu a few weeks back. (My deadlift day took the brunt of the days missed; my other lifts were delayed but I completely skipped a deadlift day.)
Shrugs: 275x6

Great log, Culican.

Can you explain the way you’re journaling the chins? I believe by saying above (BWx8)x3, that you were doing 3 sets of 8 reps each. But above in your journal you have (BW+25)x3 and you have several sets of those. So, I’m presuming that this means that you are adding 25 lbs to your BW and doing 3 reps? In any event, great work. It’s amazing what a difference adding weight does to a pull-up. BTW, I was worried I’d look obsessive by including my weight each day, then I saw yours. Do you really take your waist measurement each time? That’s dedication! That would drive me crazy.

You are correct (BW+xx) means with xx added pounds and (BWx8)x3 means three sets of 8 at body weight.

I weigh myself and do a waist measurement once per week and calculate an exponential average weighted 50% to the most recent actual weight (this dampens the normal ups and downs but still shows the trend).

Engineer? LOL. Anyhow, thank you for clarifying. Great work on your lifting.
