SQ: 225x5x3 OHP: 147x5x3 Doing a light squat as part of the 4-day split. Hopefully we can get some recovery going. Press was good; it ties the...

BP: 220x5x3 DL: 395x5 Bench was heavy but good. Could really tell on the rep that got off the bar path--it did not want to go up! Recovery does...

SQ: 270x5x3 OHP: 146x5x3 Just completed my third week of pressing on three days. We'll see how much more progress I can sneak out, given how few...
