    [H] SQ w/belt 420×3×2, 380×2
    BP w/belt 292×5, 285×5×2
    [M] DL w/belt 400×5×3

    Session start: 0405
    Session end: 0630
    Q1: Rest Periods? 5-8m [H] SQ/ 5m BP/ 5m [M] DL
    Q2: Weight Jumps? +5 [M] SQ/ +2lb BP/ +15 [M] DL
    Q3: Sleep & Calories? 4h 30m w/ naps when possible later today ~ 225gProtein/332gCarbs/68gFat
    SQ Notes: Felt incredibly slow during warm ups. Had a little bit of trouble with placing the bar evenly across my back. Legs were shaking on me pretty bad on the second set @420. Back off set @380 was very very slow. I knew I wasnt going to be able to finish the set for 5. Had very very strong doubts that my form wasnt going to completely fall apart on the 3rd rep so I racked it.
    BP Notes: Last rep was an all out effort. Backed off 2.5% and had similar bar speed and subjective ratings to last weeks 290×5×3. Will continue LPing but with 2 back off sets.
    DL Notes: Went well for a volume pulling session.
    **MED: Move last set of 5 on [H] SQ's over to Friday. I will change back off sets on [H] SQs to triples @ the same %. BP will have two back off sets as previously noted.
    Next week in a nutshell:
    [H] SQ 425×3×2, 380×3×2
    [L] SQ 340×5×3
    [M] SQ 360×5×4

    [L] SQ w/o belt 335×5×3
    Press 1.0 w/belt 187.5×5, 183×5×2
    [H] DL w/belt 450×3

    Session start: 0135
    Session end: 0400
    Q1: Rest Periods? 5m [L] SQ/ 5m PR1.0/ 8m [H] DL
    Q2: Weight Jumps? +5 [L] SQ/ +2.5lb PR1.0/ +10 [H] DL
    Q3: Sleep & Calories? 2.5-3h w/ naps when possible later today ~ 225gProtein/332gCarbs/68gFat
    SQ Notes: This was an awful session. Not well recovered at all and a recurring issue with bar unevenness across my back. Completely out of the groove and my left knee kept tracking outwardly on the way up which lead to mild hip pain.
    Press 1.0 Notes: Hard to be upset with 187.5 on a strict press. However last week on both presses I was destroying sets across @ only 2-2.5lbs lighter. Will bump up to 2.5lb jumps since Im working with a sole top set now.
    DL Notes: Out of the groove and grip troubles. Hip pain in the same area as the squat when the bar was around the knees. Back angle was folding midly on reps 2&3. 3rd rep had the softest lockout ive had in months.
    **Misc: I cant sleep. Ever since the new baby has come i spend the entire night waking up for all three of my kids. Then I spend so much time fetching things or changing diapers etc. that i cant fall back asleep. I would bet my whole paycheck on sleep being why this whole week has been just awful.

    [M] SQ w/belt 360×5×4 (4×5 across PR)
    BP w/belt 294.5×5, 287×5×2 (1×5 PR)
    [L] DL w/belt 360×5×3
    BB curl 65×8×2, 55×8

    Session start: 0515
    Session end: 0755
    Q1: Rest Periods? 5m [M] SQ/ 5m BP/ 5m [L] DL
    Q2: Weight Jumps? +5lb [M] SQ/ +2.5lb BP/ +10lb DL
    Q3: Sleep & Calories? 6h w/ naps when possible later today ~ 225gProtein/332gCarbs/68gFat
    SQ Notes: Very very recovered. Took naps frequently throughout yesterday. Probably accumulated ~9h of sleep. Warm ups were crisp and bar positioning was vastly improved. 1st set RPE@6.5-7 and last (4th) set was RPE@7.
    BP Notes: Spectacular recovery was a continuing theme. 294.5×5 was rated @9.5. Huge PR but back off sets weren't as solid as they have been. May have to change to a more TM style pressing program.
    DL Notes: Grip was solid as well as back positioning. Volume pulls suck as usual.
    BB curls: I had the time and decided to fuck off a little bit until the conclusion of my podcast.
    Misc: Newborn has her days and nights for the most part figured out. Sleep is obviously the thing that impedes my progress earlier this week. I forsee a good chance of next week returning to the normal 6h a night slept as opposed to the 2-4h a night now.

    Q2: Weight Jumps? +5lb [H] SQ/ +2.5lb PR1.0/ +10lb DL
    Q3: Sleep & Calories? 4h pre workout/ 6.5h @time of logging session will try to squeeze another nap in today~ 《225g Protein 322g Carbohydrates 68g Fat》2800 calories
    SQ Notes: scheduled 425×3×2 today. Had pretty bad L ankle and knee pain. Ankle was dull and generalized to the talar joint line and knee had some mildly sharp pain just superior to my tibia tuberosity. Definetly a difficult distraction as i ramped up to my top sets. Last rep of my 1st set I got a little in front of my mid foot coming up. Completely smoked my lower back. Unracked my 2nd set 8m later and had barely enough left to hit a single. Will switch to 2×2 next week.
    Press Notes: Another PR! Very happy that the presses are in a way still being LPd. Buying Justin Lasceks 70s big LP was well worth it for some more programming ideas.
    DL Notes: 1st set tore up my hands pretty bad. Grip was pretty shitty today. Threw on the straps to get the volume done.

    Q2: Weight jumps? +5lb, 2.5lb BP
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 6h / 225g Protein - 322g Carbohydrates - 68g Fat ~2,800 calories.
    SQ Notes: These were not light at all. Lower back was absolutely torched. Took rest periods equivalent to my heavy day.
    BP Notes: Had no energy and felt like i got dragged through the dirt. Didnt even come close to hitting the 5th rep. Heaved it for 2" and died quickly.

    I was rereading Practical Programming and have determined that ive lost sight of the overarching framework. So to recalibrate...

    HBSQ w/o belt 335×5×3
    Press 1.0 w/belt 192.5×4, 187×3
    Wtd. Chins 15×5×3, 4×BW

    Session start: not sure
    Session end: 1330
    Q1: Rest Periods? 5m HBSQ, 5m PR1.0
    Q2: Weight jumps? Na HBSQ, +2.5lb PR1.0
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 6h / 225g Protein - 322g Carbohydrates - 68g Fat ~2,800 calories.
    SQ Notes: Low back was still torched but i needed some volume for next Monday. Decided to try HBSQ again. Just took 50lb jumps until my 5s were a little slower on the last rep (ie 335). 5m break and hit two more sets.
    Press Notes: All i had on rep 4. Tried to get my hips involved on the 5th rep like in Press2.0 but i was already smoked. Stopped when my back off set failed 2 reps shy of goal.
    Chins Note: Been a long time. Focused on trying to keep tension in my lats for the entirety of the movement which definitely cut down on the lbs. But these are to grow my back not my ego.

    Q1: Rest Periods~ 3-8m SQ/ 3m BP/ 5m DL
    Q2: Weight Jumps~ new rep and volume prescription
    Q3: Sleep & calories~ 3h, 3100 calories 225gProtein-397gCarbohydrates-68gFat
    SQ Notes: I severely underestimated the rest periods for this amount of volume work. Will not rest less than 5m moving forward. 1st set i rated at RPE7 which was perfect since it correlates with about 76% which was right about what i was going for.
    BP Notes: Smashed this session. Felt nice to have some breathing room between my work sets & RM. 1st set i rated at RPE6 which is about 74% on the commonly used chart from RTS & BBM. So another solid weight pick that i used my training log to pick.
    DL Notes: Grip was a big limiter today. Had to rechalk my hand because my little fingers were dying since reps 4&5 pried my hands open
    Programming Note: Reread PPST3 & a ton of articles from Andy baker. Wanted to/ felt i needed to explore more rep ranges that fall into that general strength range. Liked the concept of volume cycling and felt it was an easy way to consistently explore the 3-6rep range with recoverable stresses now that im back @work.

    Q3: Sleep & calories~ 6h, 3100 calories 225gProtein-397gCarbohydrates-68gFat
    SQ Notes: Perfect light day squats. Mildly tempoed them but not enough for these be add to monday stress. Felt better in my legs and hips afterwords.
    PR Notes: Was rolling through until set 5. Needed an 8m break and came back for the last set. Missed the 6th rep 2ish inches above my head. Not unhappy though overall.
    Chin Notes: killed it
    Misc: PRT was at the gym today. Had to be seen doing something so i hit some biceps, medial & posterior delts. Optimistic this wont have much of an affect.
