Sticking to a lifting schedule for 2016

[shaymus]

From now through August, I'm getting married, finding a new job, moving, and traveling, and with everything going on it's going to be easy to miss workouts. Last year I injured my knee and it was painful to squat most of the year and I also lost 40 pounds (intentionally), so all of my lifts have gone down quite a bit. I want to get some of that back and stick to a schedule, so keeping a log here should maintain some accountability.

The first couple of posts are going to be workouts from January, so I can catch up to the most current workout and put everything in one place.

125 felt easier than 120 on the last cycle of eights. Hopefully that keeps up.

Squat - 240 x 8 x 3
Power snatch - worked up to 95 x 2 x 3
RDL - 185 x 8 x 3

Squats were tough and I was pretty lightheaded after the 3rd set. I'm going to start including psn instead of rows because I like doing them even if I suck at them. I had gotten up to 125 x 2 x 6 and 145 x 1 x 6 in September last year, so I am going to try to increase the volume and get back up around those numbers. Body weight was 224 after lifting and eating dinner so I had some cheerios and peanut butter for a snack.

2-25
Squat - 205 x 5 x 3
Deads - 265 x 8 x 3

Was short on time so I skipped the assistance stuff. Deads are starting to get tougher, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep making 10lb jumps. BW was 223 this morning.
