    Your squats look a million times better. Congrats on the 3 plates!

    Recovery Day
    Squat 220 2x5
    Bench 202.5 5,5,4
    Chin ups 7,8

    I was so close to having the last rep on the bench. Frustrating. I didn't take enough of a break between sets 2 and 3. I got cocky after the first set felt so light. Won't make that mistake again.

    3/31
    Volume Day
    Squat 280 5x5

    Feeling pretty sick all weekend but I decided to try and work through it anyway. I made it through my squats which was the minimum I wanted to do, but didn't get anything else in. I started my warm up for benches and just the bar felt like a lot of weight so I couldn't see doing my normal 3x5. Oh well.

    4/2
    Recovery Day
    Squat 225 2x5
    Bench 202.5 3x5

    Assistance
    Chin ups 2x12
    Curls 4x8

    I switched it up and did benches first since I'm still not feeling100%. I figured it would be better to get the hard stuff out of the way first. I may keep this format on recovery day, not sure.

    Going forward I am going to do chin ups and curls on Recovery day and pull ups and LTEs on Intensity day. I am too wiped out on the end of Volume day to do much of anything else.

    I don't have a Roman chair or ghd so I need to figure out a way to get some lower back work in on recovery days. Maybe GMs? I don't want to add a lot of work, just something to get the blood flowing to help with recovery.

    I'm just going to say it: Fuck presses. If I stall at this weight I am going to change to 5 sets of 3 and see if that will keep my progress going for a while.

    After watching the video the 3rd rep of squats looks high, and all others look to be parallel not below. Frustrating, but something to focus on next week. I also need to get my left elbow UP.

    On a side note I can't seem to figure out how to embed youtube videos on here. I don't computer good. Every time I try all that shows up is the program symbols, but no video. Anyone have tips?

    Bench 205 3x5
    Deadlift 330x5

    Took a 45min walk with the dog (not a slow walk) shortly after the workout. It probably wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had. Needless to say my legs are smoked.
