SQ:
BWx5
45x5
135x3
185x2
225x1
275x1
335x1
380x3 RPE 8
380x3 RPE 8.5

Probably should have gone for the 5RM, but I was at the local Y. Different set ups, fear of embarrassing myself in public, etc. Repeat 380 for 5 next week?
Skipped chinz. Really want to get my 185 OHP for four next week, and I'm worried if I hit chinz hard today, I won't be recovered on Monday. Need to get back to my regular schedule, but next week I have to do M-W-Th-Sat again. Should be able to get back to regular schedule after that, though.

Next week's Goals:
OHP: 185x4, 162.5x5x5 (have to hit this volume goal, or this will be the third week stuck on 162.5! Focus on form, popping the hips for a good start and maintaining a straight bar path.)
DL: 430x2
B: 275x3x2
SQ: 380x5
Add Chinz back into WOs!
I can't wait to press 185 for reps on OHP. 275 on B will be pretty cool, too.

OHP weight PR! Not what I wanted to get, but still a PR...
Form on 3rd set of B is shit, elbows all over the place, 4th set butt was up off bench for 4th and 5th reps, should have given more time between sets, but rushing to meet my sweetie for lunch! Repeat B volume.
Go to 55x10x3 next week.

Meant to include this above, but didn't get to it in time:
Went for last rep of last set of B volume, got it about 4-5" off the chest and ran out of gas. Had to lower it to the safeties and do the roll of shame
Not sure what is going on with upper body lifts the past two weeks, may need to consider a reset? Will see how next week goes.

DL weight PR! Definitely had one more rep left. Good acceleration out of the bottom, especially the 2nd rep. Need to get that accel on the first rep!
SQs- right knee coming in, focus on knees OUT! Back was toasted. Holy pumpz, Batman! Should have gone for fifth set at 300, but at the time of exercise, I just wasn't feeling it. Also, don't want to increase volume until I fail an Intensity goal. I do wonder if I were doing a fifth set if it would make ID easier...experts say to keep that extra volume in your pocket for when you need it...
Weight at 303! Whatwhat? Need to keep an eye on this. Still wearing belt on 7th hole for presses, but had to back off to 6th hole for SQs. I reckon once I get back out to the third hole for presses I will worry then. Maybe the extra weight will help get presses moving again.

B weight PR!! A little off schedule today, up early to go with wife to Drs appt, 5 1/2 hrs of sleep, but then had big Cracker Barrel breakfast: 3 pancakes with blueberries and regular syrup, bacon, 3 eggs over medium. Balanced out? Butt off bench on last rep.
Icy Hot after B on elbows.
Wahoooooo!!! Hit 5x5 at 162.5!!!! Been chasing this for three weeks. Went to full recovery between sets. On last set, 4th rep lower left back started to cramp, on 5th rep went into full blown cramp. Still managed to press out the fifth rep. That hurt. But I made my goal!!!

It's amazing how descending sets from 360 make 300 feel like 345.
Tried 600mg of caffeine today. Def feeling it. Jordan recommended 3-9mg/kg, so I should be able to safely work up to 1200mg before having to reset, of course, it should take a few months to get to that level?
Very snotty today. Hope I'm not coming down with something.
