    Bench Press: 230x8, 205x11
    Incline Bench Press: 185x5x3

    "Light Deadlift": 405x3x3
    Floating Row: 135x8x3
    Seems like I'm changing things up a lot, but I want to try conjugate on my squats and deadlifts, I think it'll be a better balance of stress since I'm only heavy squatting or deadlifting once a week. I really like the rotating LP on upper body, so I will be sticking with that

    14May2024

    22May2024
    Press: 165x7, 145x10
    BtN Press: 137.5x5x3 (unsure if my rotator cuff likes these or not. Can't tell if its normal sore, or if I'm impinging. I will try 1 lbs jumps for a few weeks and see if it improves)
    Close Grip Bench Press: 215x5x3
    Chins: BWx20: 8, 7, 5

    Deadlift: 500x3 (hell yeah) thats it. That's all I could do today

    Going to try a 3, 2, 1 kind of thing now that I can train consistently again. Today I combined the Heavy squat and heavy bench day, because I missed my Tuesday workout
    Going forward:
    Day 1
    Heavy Squat
    Press 5x5
    Curlz

    Day2
    Heavy Bench
    Front Squat
    Weighted Chins

    Day3
    Heavy Deadlift
    Close Grip Bench
    Light Squat

    Just going to focus on Bench for a while, when this gets stale I'll swap them

    Squat: 425x1 (couldn't get a second) so I tried to at least PR and get 445, shit the bed. Back off 80% 340x3, didn't do a second, I was smoked.
    Volume Press: 135x5x5

    I over reached last week with the two triple PRs. Both the squat and deadlift last week were limit triples. At least it gives me a more realistic starting point for 3,2,1. I'll use 425 for my 1 on squat, I'll do my best to get 520 on deadlift this Saturday and use that as my 1.

    31Aug2024
    Deadlift: 520x1, 545x0 (had to try), 80% Back Off 415x5
    Bench Press: 300x1 (something is wrong with my elbow)
