    PC
    95x3x3(working on rack)
    Chins 10x3

    bodyweight still more or less the same, not really trying to loose or gain right now.
    My goals are to work up to 220-330-440-500 or something like that. So far I have missed no workouts or reps, but the squats are getting difficult. Im wondering if I should get a belt? Also the DL is going OK, but the squat workout that follows is a killer on my lower back, not in an injury way, just seems like it hasnt recovered yet.
    Ill try to maintain this log as best as I can, but may have to imput weekly if I am too busy(job, kids etc..)

    Today I hit my first snag in my LP. squats went fine and I hit my goal 310x5x3, but afterwards my arms were so sore I couldnt get my bench. in fact I had trouble on even the light warmups. I felt totally wasted, so I tried to rest for about 15 minutes, but it didnt help. Was supposed to do 230x5x3, ended up with 230x1x1. Then I just left, I wasnt even going to attempt deads. Here it is.
    SQ
    45x10
    45x5
    95x5
    135x5
    185x3
    225x3
    275x3
    295x1
    310x5x3
    Bench
    45x5
    45x5
    95x5
    135x5
    165x3
    195x2
    225x1
    230x1
    Done, wasted, left without doing anymore. Didnt do deads.
    After 4 hours or so I felt Ok, and probably could go back in and finish, but I think Ill just wait til Monday and try again, not sure what the hell is wrong with me, if the squats killed me, maybe Im getting sick etc... If I feel good in the am tomorrow maybe Ill try to get in the bench and deads.
