    Wed 4/8
    Front squat: 170x5x3
    Bench: 190x5x3 alternating sets with C2rower: 30 seconds light, 30 seconds hard
    Deadlift: 155x10x5 alternating with Dips:10x5
    Chins: 10x1
    Hanging Leg Raise: 15x2 alternating with db press: 35x10, 40x8, 40x7
    tire drag.. 25lbs + 80lbs kids for a bit, then through the neighborhood 10 ish minutes
    100 single-under jump rope

    Body weight down from 185 last month to 177 ish. I'm eating healthy overall with a good mix of carbs/protein but I do like icecream. I do some intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast several times per week, usually on my training days but it doesn't seem to make a big difference. I have lunch around noon then train around 2 or 3.

    Tuesday 4/21:
    Squat: worked up to 275, failed. de-loaded to 245x3x3. 155x10x5.
    *My form last Tuesday wasn't great, I added a lot more volume (155x10) last Friday and was sore for 3 days. I may have succeeded in adding too much unfamiliar volume which hurt my recovery while at the same time not doing enough intensity. I also think squatting lighter may have hurt my feel or form for squatting heavy. Whatever happened, Today was a real set back on the squat. I think I need more "heavy" touches per week on the squat. Also will be upping the protein (I have been slacking).
