    squats:
    3x300
    3x340
    4x385 (rep p.r.)
    3x5x340 (backoff)

    rdl: 3x8x310

    I had fantasies of 5x385, but the 3rd and 4th were a bit forward. The 4th was a real grind. The problem was that my back angle was changing too low in the descent, so on the backoffs I worked on keeping the back angle steady on the lower half while sitting back.

    Tuesday 3/15/2016

    press:
    5x170
    3x198
    0x216 (got forward a bit)
    1x216 (p.r.)
    3x5x182 backoff

    chins: 9/9/9/9/9/5

    Barely got the last rep on the 5th set of chins. The 216 press should have gone up the first time, but it was forward a bit and I didn't snap the hips well enough.

    power clean:
    3x135
    3x155
    3x175
    1x185
    1x195
    1x205
    2x0x210
    Same old story here. I really need to drill the 3rd pull and work on my rack position.

    Deadlift:
    5x375
    3x425
    1x475
    1x485 (p.r. finally)
    5x385 (backoff; grip was giving out at top of 5th rep)

    rows: 2x8x290

    Quite a night. I'm bushed, but at least I can still walk.

    Saturday 3/19/2016

    I want to start working on full snatch/cleans (verrrry gradually), so I did a full warm-up and worked on pressing snatch balance. My shoulder mobility need work, and these should help that as well.

    Sunday 3/20/2016

    warmup + 3x10 pressing snatch balance (just pvc mobility work)

    pin squat: 3x1x320

    bench:
    5x248
    3x281
    2x0x315 (more bar path errors)
    3x5x264 (may have fixed it during the backoffs)

    Tuesday 3/22/16

    squat:
    5x320
    3x360
    1x405
    0x425 (joker miss; not even close)
    3x5x340

    rdl: 2x8x310

    I slept badly last night and 405 was heavy, so 425 was at best a hope and a prayer. No dice. I think my back was a bit too vertical at the bottom and I got stuffed.

    Thursday 3/24/16

    press:
    5x145
    5x171
    5x194 (yuuuge effort)
    3x5x183 backoff

    chins: 10/9/9/9/8/5

    The 5th press at 194 got forward a bit. If I hadn't been accumulating anger from misses earlier this week I might not have had the juice to force it up. Definitely the grindiest 5th I've ever had on press.

    Sunday 3/27/16

    power-clean:
    3x135
    3x155
    3x175
    1x185
    1x195
    3 misses at 205

    deadlift:
    5x330
    5x380
    5x430
    5x385 backoff

    rows: 2x8x290

    The deadlift went well enough. I'm working on form for power-cleans and that has me thinking too hard. I'll pay the price in the short term; my lousy form has me stalled and I have to improve it to make progress.

    Tuesday 3/29/16

    pin squats: 3x5x285 (math said 280)

    bench:
    5x215
    5x248
    4x281 (form ok, but miss)
    265: 5/5/4/1

    Pin squats went fine, but the bench less so. I got the top 5 at 281 last cycle, but missed the 5th tonight. The form was better than last session, though. I think this is the obvious result of dedicating most of my accessories to deadlift, and I'll keep doing so until that lift is over 500 lbs.

    Thursday 3/31/16

    squat:
    5x280
    5x325
    5x365 (380 is 5 rep p.r.)
    3x5x345 backoff (these were hard!)

    rdl: 2x8x315

    I may need a slightly more horizontal back angle on the way down. Apparently I'm raising my butt a couple of inches on the way up before the bar moves. Just a couple inch adjustment, I think. A separate issue: the rep cushion is vanishing as the weights go up. 7 to 6 to 5 over the last three cycles. My recomp macros may be insufficient to support the weight increases.
