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.

From today, 10/1

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
