On Deads: Do NOT breathe in or out while the weight is off of the floor. Reset and breathe while weight is ON the floor. Why destroy your valsalva in mid lift?

Squat 3x5@325 only got 3 reps on the last set. Wasn't feeling it today. I was the only one in the gym and for some reason it was freezing in there. I put it up next time.
Bench 3x5@250 no issues
Row 3x5@135 no issues

I just find it easier to get more air in at the top position when I'm doing reps than holding my breath from the bottom to the top and then back down.Originally Posted by carson

Drove 16 hours Sunday night into Monday afternoon coming home from my in-laws. So today was a little bit of a grind after being in the sun and my pool for 3 hours this afternoon with friends over. Managed to make it into the gym this evening though.
Squat 3x5@325 decent grind. Definitely felt it in my hips and glutes after.
Press 3x5@155 I went 5,2,2 and the first 5 were very tough.
Deadlift 1x5@335 very tough set and form broke down for sure. I may be getting towards the end of being able to squat heavy and Deadlift heavy on the same day for now.
Overall I'm wondering if I'm getting close to running the string out on 3x5 LP. Not sure if I drop down to 3x3 LP or go into madcow. I had decent results on madcow when I lifted a few years ago. But I went to that after running 5x5 LP.

Yesterday's session was at 0600 after 12 hours of a night shift. Felt pretty good going in.
Squat 3x5@330
Bench 3x5@255
Row 3x5@135
Accessory junk.
I think this will be it for squat and bench for 3 straight sets of 5. The rest time between sets and the overall fatigue level, especially with the squats is getting up there. I'm going to switch to 3x3 and try to eek out some more daily progression before moving on to madcow. Press will be going to 3x3 as well. Rows can stay 3x5 for now, I'd say I have 20-30lbs yet on those, we'll see though.
Yesterday was the first time going into the gym on my way home when I'm working my week off nights, we'll see how it goes. Last night was mostly office/computer stuff except for the last 2 hours. Interested to see how I feel if I've been in the field all night.

Aug. 20th session
Squat 3x3@335
Press 3x3@155

Going down to 3x3 made a huge difference as far as rest time and recovery. Noticed a huge difference when I got to my Deadlifts.

Finished off my 7, 12 hour nights with a quick workout. Just did my big lifts and that was it.
Squat 3x3@340
Bench 3x3@260

Squat felt moderatly heavy the first 2 sets. Felt pretty good the last set.
Bench was absolutely crushed as was rows.
