Press: Bar x 10, Bar x 10, 75 x 5, 95 x 2, *120 x 8*, 75 x 10, 75 x 10
Chins: 20 total -- BW x 6, BW x 5, +10 x 3, BW x 6

Press was hard but I got them all. Bar was moving slow and not a great lockout on the last few. Based on today I don't think I'll have 8 at 125, but we'll see.

Video of front squats below if anyone wants to weigh in on form.

Feeling good and looking forward to each workout. I've been tempted to switch over to a straight novice LP for a bit to try to drive numbers up more quickly and then come back this, but I will hold off and be patient.

Week 4/Day 1

Squat: Bar x 10, Bar x 5, 95 x 5, 135 x 3, 185 x 1, *205 x 8 + bonus (1)*, 157.5 x 10
Power Clean: 130 x 5 x 3 (triples)
Barbell Curls: Bar x 10, 66.25 x 3 x 10

PR for squats at that rep range. I meant to do 8 and lost count. Saw on video that I did 9. Good set. Been adding 10 lbs each time for squats and deads To push myself back up to my prior working weights a little quicker.

Cardio note: I didn't do the 10k I had planned this weekend. Our 5yr old was sick with a stomach virus and he had me and my wife up all night, so we both bailed on the race. It would have been a good time, but the silver lining is not doing the run is better for recovery. I'm not going to do anymore cardio this month. Beginning of next month I'll start again, and he plan is to swim 1k once a week (maybe twice), and do a short easy run once per week - maybe 3.5 miles - just enough to maintain enough run fitness to run an occasional 5k with my wife when they come up.

Week 4/Day 2

Press: Bar x 10, Bar x 10, 75 x 5, 95 x 2, *125 x 8*, 75 x 10, 75 x 10
Chins: 16 total -- BW x 6, +10 x 3, +15 x 3, BW x 4

ok tonight, not great. Didn't get to workout until very late because of family stuff and was tired. Also ate 3 slices of pizza when I got home from work and that was bothering me while I worked out, even though it was ~2+hours earlier. Calories and macros still good for the day though.

Week 4/Day 3

Front Squat: Bar x 5, Bar x 5, 95 x 3, *140 x 8*, 97.5 x 2 x 10
Deadlift: 135 x 2 x 5, 185 x 3, 225 x 1, 250 x 1, *270 x 8*

I'm going to switch back to novice LP. I feel great right now because I'm eating again, and I know I didn't get enough out of my LP because of form issues and i started dieting. I'm going to switch back and see what else I can squeeze out of that. When I stall or if it's too much otherwise I'll switch back to this program (which I like a lot).

I also decided I'm working toward next year's Fall Classic (assuming it's held) or another fall meet next year. Would be to do that and hit 1K, but there is a long road between here and there.

Week 5/Day 1

Moving back to Novice LP to see if I can get more out of it, and then can switch back to the more intermediate program I had been doing for the last month. Contemplated a new log for that, but will keep it here. Not a great day for me. The stomach virus that has been working its way through my house landed on me now, and I had a very rough time last night and the first half of today. I still did 10lb jumps from last session on squat and bench, which may not have been the best idea. I felt weak throughout, but all reps were solid. I'm happy I got the workout in. I'm planning to do dips on my bench day, but I skipped those (and power cleans) today because of the illness.

Squat: Bar x 5, Bar x 5, 95 x 5, 135 x 3, 185 x 1, *215 x 3 x 5*
Bench: Bar x 5, Bar x 5, 95 x 5, 135 x 3, 160 x 1, *180 x 3 x 5*
Power Clean: skipped b/c sick
Dips: skipped b/c sick
