    212.8 - not a good night of sleep didn't get to bed until 11 and son woke up at 5a instead of his usual 6:30, a cpl wake ups in there too..have to work tonight until 1am and up at 6a tomorrow....

    Chins
    5x3
    3 sets of 5...not easy at all

    Pull-ups
    3x5
    5 sets of 3...really only getting my nose to bar on most reps. About 26m total for chins and pulls

    BB rows
    135x8x3
    Jumped up to plates and did them Pendlay style (putting bar down between reps)...pretty hard, I'll try to up my reps before upping weight

    Squatted today instead of Fri. Weighed in but can't remember, 212 or 13 point something....6.5 hr sleep approx

    Squat
    230x5x3
    @7.5, 7.5, 8.5 with 5m rest periods. Will prob do a 10 lb jump if doubles and eights weeks go smoothly.

    Front squats
    115x8, 105x10, 95x12
    Strength was not an issue, but breathing sure was.

    Calf raises

    214.4 - almost 8 hr sleep

    Bench
    205x2x3
    5m rests, all sets @9.5 but closer to 10 than 9. Heavy, but not all out grinds, but probably didn't have 3rd reps.

    Dips
    7x3

    BB curls
    75x8, 65x10, 55x12

    214.4 - 5 hr sleep

    Deadlift
    325x2x3
    5m rests, @7.5, 8.5, 8.5. First set mixed, next 2 with straps. Need to keep working on getting straps tighter around the bar. A little heavier than anticipated but I'm sure I'm good for a 10 lb jump.

    SLDL
    160x8, 150x10, 135x12
    Much improvement, third time doing these.

    Calf raise
    140x12x3

    215.2 PR! Just under 5 hr sleep but for the second consecutive night I slept straight through without a wake up which is very rare. I'm off work now thru the end of the year so my next awful night of sleep won't be until Monday night 1/2/17! Let the gainz begin!

    Press
    130x2x3
    5m rests. @9,9,9

    CGBP
    150x8, 140x10, 135x10
    Last set supposed to be 12.

    214.4 - 9+ hrs sleep with a few wake ups

    Chin-ups + pull ups
    25 + 20
    Ok, here's what I came up with about 30s prior to starting. 30 minute timer, AMRAP of each alternating sets between chin ups and pull ups. I figure the volume will be good given I only do them once a week, and this will allow me to progress without it getting stupid long as reps increase. Once I'm satisfied with total volume I can start adding weight. Still can't really get my nose past the bar on pull ups.

    Weight is challenging. Plan is to get to 145 and then try descending sets with higher reps up to 10 to 12.

    I like the alternating chinups/pullups. Yes, good amount of volume. I assume you are avoiding grinders in your AMRAPs.

    Correct.

    215.4 PR! Almost 7 hr sleep

    Squat
    255x2x3
    6m rests, @9, 9, 9.5. Heavier than I anticipated but I held my knees out.

    Front squat
    125x8, 115x10, 105x12
    Still doing +10 on all sets. Bar speed still good just so tiring. Feel it in the lumbar more than quads. Not sure I'm doing something wrong or its just becaus it's after LBBS. I'll video once I do some big plates.

    218.2 big PR holy crud...either the holiday eating, the accessory work, or combo of both. Sleep over the weekend not great but not terrible

    The following kicks off "cycle" 2 of KSC powerbuilding

    Bench
    +5 170x8x3
    5m rests, @7.5, 8.5, 9. Prob gonna take another 5 lb jump and just rest a little longer if I need to.

    Dips
    8x3
    Rested around 2m before 2nd set and then like 3-4m before 3rd and still barely locked out the 24th rep.

    BB Curls
    76.5x8, 66.5x10, 56.5x12

    216.8

    Deadlift
    +10 255x8x3
    Rpe hard to gauge since fatigue is limiting factor and not strength but I would guess @7, @8.5, @8.5 with 7m rests between set. Bar moved fast on all 24 reps. Got extremely lightheaded for a solid 10m after 3rd set, and my son woke up not feeling well while I was trying to recover, so I bagged the accessory work today.
