4/1
OHP 150x6 or maybe 5?
Pause Squat 275x3x2, 2s
Bench Press 190x6x4
Chin bwx4x10, EMOM

My friend swears I only got 5 reps on the OHP, but I'm almost certain I did 6. I took squats light since I went pretty heavy on Monday.

4/3
Bench Press 185x3x3, 3s pause
Squat 320x6x3
SLDL 295x6x3

Squats felt difficult today, but that's not necessary a bad thing. At least my elbows didn't bother me at all on squats or bench. Hook gripped the SLDLs and four hours later my thumbs still feel it a little.

4/5
Bench Press 210x6, 1s pause
OHP w/bands 115+40x1, 135+40xf, 100+40x6x3
Row 165x8x3

Bench felt good. I wanted to try to work up to a heavy single on OHP, but overshot it. I failed the single just above my head, where the total weight would have been about 160, which is weird, because I can get that for about 3-4 reps with straight weight. I think the bands might throw me off a little since the tension is towards a fixed point and not straight down, although if my press was actually vertical that wouldn't make a difference.

4/6
Squat 355x6
Sumo DL 455x2, 3
Pause Sumo DL 405x5, 1s

The squats went up surprising well for how shitty my form felt. Yeah, that makes sense. On the first set of DLs my grip was about to fail so I didn't attempt the third rep. I used some of that stupid chalk ball thing, and it sucks, but it helped enough to actually get a set of three.

4/8
OHP 165x3
Bench Press 205x3x6 tng, 175x6x2 1s pause
Weighted Chin 25x6, 35x6, 45x5, neutral grip
Curls 60x12, 10, 8

bw: 165 lbs

I think my increased bench frequency/volume is helping my OHP just as much, if not more, than my bench. Also, I'm going to start doing weighted chins again. I was pleasently surprised I got 45 for 5 reps, since my previous best was 45x3 at a lower bodyweight some time around the end of last year. Skipped medium squats since I'm going to do my volume squats tomorrow since I can't make it to the gym on Friday. And I thought, this is quite the broish workout, I might as well throw in some curls.

4/9
Squat 340x3x5
SLDL 315x3, 3, 5, hook grip hurts so much

My knee/quad by me knee area was starting to get a bit bad kind of sore from squats. Not sure why, I don't think my knees were caving in or sliding forward.

4/11
Bench Press 235x1x5, 1s pause
OHP w/bands 105+40x6x3
Chin 1-7-1 ladder, neutral grip

Bench went pretty smoothly, but on a couple reps my elbows felt a little uncomfortable. Just barely got the OHP so I'm going to rotate 3x6 and 5x3 like on everything else. Did a ladder for chins (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6...) Just do to something different. Also I think I'm going to change my "medium" benching to get a little more overall volume.

4/13
Squat 385x1x5
Sumo DL 430x6
Conv DL 385x3, 1

Heavy singles on squats is more mentally than physically challenging. I decided to pull two sets conventional since I haven't in a while, but I was too tired from sumo to get anything close to what I should be able to.

Is that you in the Weekly Report? Kind of an outdated picture since you just squatted 405lbs.

Uh, no? What/who on there looks like me?
