6/6- home 440p-550
OHP 142x3x4
Bench Press 180x8x4, tng
Chin bwx4x8 (32), neutral grip, amrap7 (as many reps as possible in 7 minutes)

Took about 4 minutes between sets of press and 5 minutes between sets of bench. High reps on anything sucks.

6/7- home 1130a-1215p
squat 295x8x2, 275x8x2

Already messing up and not following my program. In a rush today, so only squats, and kept rests to ~6 minutes which made me feel nauseous by the time I was done. Deadlifts will be done tomorrow so I'm not missing out on any volume or anything.

6/8- school 420p-610
Bench Press 190x5x3, 1s pause
Conv DL 340x5x3, hook grip
Chins 30x5x4
Dips 55x8, 8, 13

~4 minutes rest on bench press, no idea on everything else since I was trying to help my friend with his squats, deads, and then bench. Fairly easy day, deads weren't hard since school bar is bendy.

6/10- school 430p-540
bp 225x5, 205x5x2, 1s pause
ohp 125x8x3, ~5-6 min
chin bwx14, 12, supinated grip

Bench felt good, I'm pretty sure I had at least one more rep, possibly two. Ohp for reps is just so difficult and I had to use the 55 lb squat bar because all the others were taken, so that was weird. Gotta redeem myself on squats tomorrow.

6/11- school 220p-410
sq 385x1, 365x6, 330x5x2
sumo dl 445x1x3, 425x5

After the fifth rep on my top set of squats, I decided to do another rep. Because idk. Also deadlifts felt pretty bad. It could be the bar or that I tired myself out on squats or that I'm deadlifting too frequently and with too much volume or a bunch of things. I'll do what I planned for next week and if that goes poorly too, I may reconsider my deadlift programming.

6/13- home 430p-545
OHP 150x2x5
Bench Press 195x5x5
Chin 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 (29), neutral grip, amrap7

Did some benching with the bar and 95 before pressing and I think that helped me warm up better since my shoulders always feel like crap when pressing before benching. Bench felt light, which is nice, although it's suppose to feel kind of light. I think ~3 min rests on press and ~4 min rests on bench. My hamstrings and glutes are still sore from Thursday's squats and deads, but they should be okay for tomorrow. I also forgot to note that I tore some skin off the middle of my left middle finger, so I'm not sure how my grip will be for tomorrow's deadlifts.

I just noticed that whenever I update from my phone I write with no caps and I sometimes abbreviate more things than I usually do. It's mostly irrelevant, but the inconsistency bothers me. Ugh.

6/14- home 230p-420
Squat 300x8x2, 280x8x2, ~7 min
Conv DL 345x5x2, hook grip
Sumo Dl 345x1x5

Gave myself a little longer rests on squats and it went okay. Wanted to try a few sumo cues so I did five singles instead of my last set of conventional. Didn't figure anything out though. Also, I have a hard time gauging if my conventional sets are getting difficult, because my thumbs are just screaming at me the whole time.

6/15- school 445p-600
Bench Press 205x3x4, 1s pause, 2-3s last set
Chin 32.5x5x4, neutral grip
Dips 65x8, 8, 11

Felt pretty overall fatigued, probably from volume squats yesterday, but bench was easy, so I did 2-3s pauses for the last set. Chins and dips are difficult when the plates keep swinging around.

I've been getting into a habit of walking back to my apartment from school/gym on most days. That's a 25-30 minute walk. I suppose that's at least a little good for conditioning/recovery, as long as I don't get hit by a car.

6/17- school 530p-630
Bench Press 235x2x3, 1-2s pause
OHP 135x5x4
Pull Ups bwx10, 8

Bench was easy. I think I paused more like 1.5s on most of the reps. I also didn't have a spotter so unracking was harder than the actual set. Something like 5 min rests on bench and 4 min rests on press, I really could have gone heavier.

6/18- school 500p-650
Squat 390x1, 370x4
Sumo DL 455x1x3, 435x5
Squat 325x5x2
Bw: 166

Didn't attempt 5th rep on the squats because I misgrooved the fourth rep pretty badly and it took all my energy to get the bar back up. Then there was a sharp pain in my knee when I was about to do my back off sets so I decided to skip it, because I don't need any more injuries. Deadlifts felt good, unlike last week, but that could be because I wasn't exhausted from squatting, so I still don't know. My form on the singles was better. It wasn't so good on the set of 5, but that was pretty easy anyways, so that's good. Then I decided I probably need to get the squat volume in and my knee wasn't hurting so I went and did some squats, albeit 10 pounds less than what I was suppose to do.
