caveman goes for 5/3/1 for 300/400/500

From today, 9/30

Squats - 245 for 10 and 5.
Front squats - 95 for 5, 135 for 5, 185 for 5. First time doing these in a while.
Sumo deads - 225 for 5, 245 for 10. I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to stop with these. In the end 245 for 10 was fairly easy. Platform and crash pads worked great for these too!

I guess that was it. Seemed like a longer session than that. Will keep going with this modified split setup for a while until I want to start cycling through 8's, 5's and 2's.

Bench - 210 for 10. Glad I didn't go up by 10. Also good, that this will only be increasing once per week now. Re-noob gains are almost done for bench.

OHP - 105 for 8, 8, and 12. Probably should have done 110, but I didn't feel like it.

Then a semi superset rotation
lat pulldown - 130 for 10 and 10
Tricep rope - 50 for 20 and 20
incline curls - 10's for 10 and then lying down cable curls 40 for 20 or was it 15.

Trying some different bicep exercises for a variety of reasons. I used to enjoy them and arms used to be one of my better features. Also, my elbows have proven to be cranky for a long time and so I'm hoping that low weight/high reps in a variety of different angles will build back some resilience for being used. Still to chicken to try a chin up, but I am gaining confidence each time I can do something pain free.

Good session. Skipped any grip work because my right hand palm was tender

From today, 10/3

Deadlifts - 275 for 10. All DOH grip. No problems here.

Squats - 225 for 8, 8, and 8. These were easy and hard at the same time.

Did some captains of crush (from now on CoC). Did sets of 5 up 0.5. Then my left hand was done. Kept fooling around with my right hand and managed to close the 1.5 and almost got the 2.0. Pretty sure I've closed the 2.0 before so pretty happy to be relatively close to that without much training yet.
