Thursday, 8/8/19

Press
45x2x5
70x1x5
95x1x3
115x1x2

These were on the hard side. Will likely start microloading again.

Deadlift
135x2x5
165x1x5
240x1x3
315x1x2
370x1x3

The bar was wanting to move on the platform again. Couple that with me being drowsy throughout the afternoon and I ran out of steam after the third rep.

Thursday, 8/22/19

Press
45x2x5
70x1x5
95x1x3
120x1x2
140x3x5

Very last rep was a real grinder.

Deadlift
135x2x5
170x1x5
245x1x3
325x1x2
380x1x5

Warm ups felt great, mainly due to me having my form down. The main set went pretty well, despite me having to lat the bar back some and/or shuffle forward.

Saturday, 8/24/19

Squat
45x2x5
135x1x5
195x1x3
255x1x2
300x1x2

Did a 5K this morning. That and missing Tuesday's squat session may have been why I could only get two reps in, even though warm up sets felt pretty good.

Dips
BWx1x2
17.5x1x2
35x3x(6-7-8)

These are still going well.

Chin Ups
BWx1x2

Squat
45x2x5
135x1x5
195x1x3
255x1x2
300x3x(3-2-3)

I think I had the bar a bit too high on me during the second set. Really focused on bar position for the third set; still had to grind the last rep.

Bench Press
45x2x5
80x1x5
115x1x3
155x1x2
180x3x5

Missed last week's bench session and it seemed like forever since I last benched. At least it did until I benched my sets with relative ease.

*I ended up doing three reps, then felt like I couldn't do any more. After reviewing my reps I decided to try and finish the set. The "fourth" rep was rough but the last one actually felt better.

Tuesday, 9/3/19

Got to the gym and realized that I had forgotten to pack my shorts. Another session of lifting in my scrub pants.

Squat
45x2x5
137.5x1x5
197.5x1x3
260x1x2
305x3x3

These didn't feel nearly as tough as I was expecting them to. I also upped my rest time between work sets slightly to 9 minutes.

Bench Press
45x2x5
85x1x5
122.5x1x3
160x1x2
190x3x5

These were feeling hard tonight; especially as my left shoulder was getting aggravated by them. Upped my rest time to eight minutes.
