BCS, you are well on your way to becoming a monster.

Btw, what about the fourth grader reference in the thread title?

I figure most 4th graders are near 70 pounds. That's what I am going for gaining, at least to start with.

Workout A

Squat 45x5x2, 225x4, 315x2, 380x5x3

Bench 45x5, 135x4, 185x2, 205x2, 230x5x2, 230x4

DL 45x5, 225x3, 315x2, 345x1, 405x3

I lost my balance on rep 4 of the DL and dropped it. After that, it felt like I had brakes on. I could push as hard as I wanted and at a certain point, my legs just wouldn't push harder. I've had the sensation before, usually when I can't quite hold onto the bar. Sucks.

3 shots at 375, then right back in the groove with 5x3 at 380. Hell of a way to rebound. Good job man!

PC 45x3, 225x3

I have been feeling kind of irritable and short on energy lately. Before I went to the gym, I felt pretty fatigued. Had a very late night at work last night and was short on sleep. Woke up with a noticeable deficit in grip strength this morning. I believe I'm a little overtrained. The combo of heavy squats and heavy deads on Wed may have been what pushed me over the edge. I'm hoping that the significant volume decrease today, coupled with a weekend off will get me back in the groove on Monday. Of course I'm going to be attempting 405x5 on the DL again which might just shoot my week to pieces. I think I'm approaching a need for slightly more complex programming to scrape out a little bit more time to recover.

I'm considering the CFWF schedule to add some metcon back in while still making linear strength gains. I'm missing my CF WODS and starting to taper off in what I feel like I can recover from, so a little less frequency on the heavier lifts might be what I need. Please comment as I've never really bonked like I did today on a weightlifting program and would like to get some advice from like minded lifters.
