    Volume day.

    Squat 5,5,5,5,4 145kg (319lb).
    Press 5,5,5,3,3 53.5kg (118lb) + 7@ 42.5kg (93lb)
    Chins 3x8.
    Dips 8,7,4.

    Felt like arse today. 3 days on the sauce, no decent meals over the weekend and didn't eat much today = a tough workout. Felt dizzy on the first rep of each set on the press. Lesson learned to scale it back in these cicumstances.

    Intensity.

    Squat 167.5kg (368lb) 3reps, single 177.5kg (390lb). Relatively easy, think I could have done one more rep at each weight.
    Press 60kg (132lb) 4reps.
    Deadlift 175kg (385lb) 5x1 on the minute. Wanted to ensure I improved upon last week. 1st rep flew up but the rest were for shit, grinding out each rep and dragging the bar up my legs. Was setting up with my back in extension rather than neutral and locked tight.

    Intensity. Had to work out in the morning today which I know from experience doesn't suit me, just don't feel strong.

    Squat 170kg (374lb) 2reps + 3 singles. Got completely stuck on the 2nd rep and didn't move for 1 second at the bottom but managed to push out. Unhappy I missed the 3rd rep but surprised myself that I could lift that weight from a dead stop.
    Bench 100kg (220lb) 2reps + 3 singles focusing on form.
    Deadlift 100kg (220lb) DE 15x1 on 30 seconds. I'll be doing volume squat/press with only 1 day of rest in between (to get back to regular schedule) so held off from 3rm to hopefully help recovery.

    Not going to bother rewriting my log. Took a week off in between xmas and new year and spent the first 3 weeks of 2012 on a diet doing the woojus geeshman 4 day slit and trialling some of the weights. Think I'm spinning my wheels doing DE as I don't think I'm strong enough so was looking to replace DE with ID when hatmanii posted a program that looked ideal

    mon- Squat 5x5, Bench 5 singles, calfs 1x10
    tues- Press 5x5, Deadlift 1x5, pull ups 3xf
    thurs- Squat 5 singles, Bench 5x5, kroc rows 1x20
    fri- Press 3rm, RDL 3x8, chins 3xf +kg

    Hatmaniis original program only had 2 major lifts each day and I've replaced power cleans with RDL's. So I can do volume and ID on bench and press in the same week and each day's full body, perfect.

    Todays workout

    Squat 5x5 135kg
    Bench 5x1 on min 95/97.5/100/102.5/102.5kg (wasn't sure if I'd lost any strength on the bench so started a bit lighter)
    Calfs 1x10 35kg
