no worries, it happens.

Press:
137.5x4+f
137.5x3+f

Bench press:
217.5x5
217.5x5
217.5x5
217.5x5
217.5x5

Dips:
7-minute EMOM: 7x5

[Chad Mynhier]

Bench press:
240x3
240x3

I've switched to two sets of three on these. Was hoping to get four on one of these sets, as that would have given me a rep PR, but it just wasn't happening.

Press:
125x5
125x5
125x5
125x5
125x5 (forgot to start recording)

Dips:
3xAMRAP: 15/16/15

I videoed one of these sets so I could compare my speed on these to how fast I used to do them (in this set, for example). I discovered that I'm not very good at counting, as I only counted 15 for a set that was actually 16 reps. This makes me wonder if my first set was also 16.

Squats:
260x3x5

2 minutes rest, beltless

Deadlifts:
400x5 -- 5-rep PR
325x5
325x5

Woohoo! 400 for a set of 5! And I felt like I could have done 405. Of course, when it comes time to do 405, I'll probably feel like I can do 350.

Chin-ups:
3xAMRAP: 10/9/8

I'm making progress. The best I've managed recently is 9/8/8.

Yep. My wife is worried that we're going to need to widen all of our door frames soon so I can fit my head through.

Press:
140x4 -- 4-rep PR
140x4

I'm moving to the 2x3 phase for these, although I'll do 4's for as long as I can on them. I was tempted to try for 5 on the first set, but given that I didn't get 5 at 137.5 last week, and that rep 4 slowed down significantly, it was unlikely I would have gotten it, and I wanted to avoid a failed rep.

Bench press:
220x5
220x5
220x5
220x5
220x5

Dips:
8-minute EMOM: 8x5

One more set of 5 than I did last week.

[Chad Mynhier]

Squats:
325x5
325x5
325x5
325x5

I missed my heavy squat workout last week, so these felt heavier than they otherwise might have. Or they may have felt just as heavy if I hadn't missed the workout.

SLDL:
275x8x2

Chin-ups:
10-minute EMOM: 5x4 + 5x3

[Chad Mynhier]

Bench press:
242.5x3 -- 3-rep PR
242.5x2+f
242.5x2

Press:
127.5x5
127.5x5
127.5x5
127.5x5
127.5x5

Dips:
3xAMRAP: 3x14

[Chad Mynhier]

Squats:
260x3x5

2 minutes rest, beltless

Deadlifts:
405xf
370x5
325x5
325x5

The plan was to do 370x5 today and shoot for 405x5 next week, but I felt really good during my warmups, so I went for 405x5. Nope, wasn't happening.

Chin-ups:
3xAMRAP: 10/10/9

Progress, as I got 10/9/8 last week.
