    Good workout. F. squats felt very solid and borderline easy. Bench press was good though felt a little discomfort in one elbow during the first set. Expecting a good ID this week.

    Backsquat
    1x5 300#

    OH press
    1x5 140#

    Deadlift
    1x5 320#

    Backsquat went very well as predicted. Lots of momentum this week.

    OH Press: I jumped 5# instead of 2.5# to out some more space between my 5x5 volume and my ID. Felt solid. Could have done 145# probably.

    Deadlift was a repeat weight from last week as I didn't feel good about my back position. I really focused on setting my back up and squeezing hard this week which worked well, but I was back to moving a little too slow on the pull.

    Good workout. Turkey day

    Solid workout. Squats felt even more reasonable than last week's session. I only rested 5 min between sets.

    Power Cleans felt really good.

    Weird day. I couldn't fall asleep last night, tossed and turned a lot, but might have still gotten 8 hours in as it was 10:30 when I woke up and I went to bed around 11. I forgot my micro plates so had to make some adjustments up and down, but it worked out. Since I got up late, ate breakfast immediately before the workout and didn't get my usual warmup of walking the dog and riding my bike to the gym, I was a bit concerned that it wasn't going to go well, but ended up being a solid session.

    As I am moving in about 10 days and life here is winding down, stress and anxiety are running a bit high and I'm not sleeping very well at all. However, I went into this workout with a good bit of energy. f squats felt great. Bench press moved very quickly (though felt a bit heavier than I wanted it to). Looking forward to VD.

    Backsquat 1x5 310#

    OH Press 1x5 145#

    DEadlift 1x5 330#

    Went pretty well despite not feeling super amped and squat warm up sets feeling heavy. Probably will have to drop to 3s on squats in the next 2 weeks.

    OH press was solid. Skipped ahead 5# since I forgot my microplates on VD and skipped ahead there as well.

    DEadlifts went well. You know, after using a 2 inch Deadlift belt for months, I've found that my 4 inch belt works better for me. It's doesn't interfere with my setup and my back position is much improved. I have a long torso and long legs (generally, a long, lean, body type). I do feel the Elton my hip bones at the base of my setup, but it doesn't interfere so I'm just going to continue on with the 4 inch.

    Skipped pulling.

    Shit workout. Slept like shit last night, completely stressed out about moving this week. The missed reps were bullshit, though. I could have mustered them up. Going to try and finish this week's scheduled workouts, skip VD next Monday and repeat RD and ID weights on Wed and Fri. Should be settled in after that.

    Good workout. I was in a significant hurry between my last day at work and meeting up with friends before moving this weekend. Everything felt great, especially the power snatches. I cut some chin volume to get out of the gym quickly -been doing closer to 50 total. One more workout here in TN before heading West. Hopefully the stress doesn't stifle ID progress this week. I expect the squats to be nasty since VD was a real struggle this week.
