9.20.17 workout
LBS - 245 3 X 5 - figured I could increase weight slightly since I accidentally did this weight Monday high bar.
Bench paused - 255 3 x 5 repeated, since my bench programming got messed up the previous week.
Snatch grip deadlifts - 225 3 x 5 considering dropping all Oly lifts for a while. My new gym has no bumpers and I'm under 135 on PC if form is maintained. Doing types of deadlift 3 times a week isn't sustainable and I know this. Playing around. Also, these fried my back.
Chins - 3 x 8

Deadlifts were ugly. Im still trying to initiate the pull with my back instead of leg drive. Fayigue didnt help. To plan around a trip, I did this workout a day early. All the stupidity taxing pulls last week, combined with that, hit me. Felt off all workout. No more 3 x week deadlift variations for a while. I'll go back to PC on M day. In Vegas for a work related function this week and hoping to hit iron addicts gym for a possibly abbreviated Medium day (light pulls, medium all other lifts) Tuesday. Hoping they have suitable plates for my laughably low weight PC. To avoid trying to get my belt through TSA, Im just going to use one there. We'll see how that goes.

Visited iron addicts again to get some of my usual Friday work in on Thursday since I travel all day Friday (today). All I still have left to make up is my heavy press work, which I'll do tomorrow.
Was using a 3 inch loaner belt, and squats were very loose and off feeling. Had massive knee slide and too much depth on a few - was hard to get tight into such a mediocre belt. Pulls were also loose feeling - glad I didn't video my sets - I suspect I was very flexed Think I was too fatigued from walking miles a day in Vegas to get tight enough. Add the belt and the problem was compounded. But hey I got it in and didn't spend the time wasted so there's that.
Squat 265 5 x 5
Deadlift 280 3 x 5

Last partial workout - all programming during my trip is completely, albeit fragmented. Proud of myself for missing no training. It was bench 5 x 5 today,9.30. 285. Last set got grindy but got them. Might be time to start riding out the 5 x 3s starting at 290, micro loaded by 2 or 2.5. I think this can have my weights increasing for the remainder of the year. Should be doing multiple sets of singles in the low 300s by the end of the year.

10.2.17 workout
High bar Squat - 240 3 x 5
Press - 175 5,5,4 very close on rep 5. If my sleep wasn't off and I wasn't playing with a cold, I think I could have grinded this out.
Deadlift - 370 1x 2, 1 x 5
Due to using a thicker than usual bar, my grip gave out and required a rest before doing a second set with my preferred bar. Not my prettiest reps - last two had a bit of flexion. Working on it. As always constructive criticism welcome.

10.4.17 workout
LBS - 250 3 X 5
Bench paused - 265 3 x 5
PC - 100 3 X 3 considering nixing these. They're so light relative to my deadlift, they can't be having any positive effect on it. They're fun, but I'm awful at them.
Chins - 3 x 8

10.6.17 workout
LBS - 270 5 X 5
Bench - 290 5,5,5,4,3 finally hit the wall on my stupidity aggressive progression. Going to reboot next week at 292.5 for 5 x 3 and micro load for the remainder of the year. I'd like to get at least close to December before I'm down to singles. Well see.
Deadlift - 285 3 x 5

10.8.17 workout
HBS - 240 3 X 5 letting the offset between heavy day and the other days grow just a tad.
Press - 177.5 3 x 3 ha, I'm finally starting to understand the reasoning behind and execution of the 2.0.
Deadlift - 375 1 x 5 have a few form things I need to keep working on. Most importantly here, lower back got a little loose on the back half. As always criticism welcome.

Chins - 8,4 moving these permanently to days that don't involve heavy pulls first. I didn't have anything left.
