    Volume day

    SQ 5*5 315
    BP 5*5 230
    DL 1*5 365

    Great day in the garage. DL went very well on all lifts with no fails and squatting volume is becoming easier. Did less warm up sets for squat which gave me more juice at the end.

    Intensity Day

    Started training at 9:00 PM tonight due to class and tests all day today. Did well on my tests and waited for it too cool down a little. Decided to go up on SQ today because my last warm up set @ 355 felt very good. Wrapped knees today as well. Tough day but new SQ PR. Too late at night for me to train but didn't want to skip a day bc of consistent gains.

    Squat 1*5 @ 379 (PR)
    BP 1*3 @ 250 (failed on 3rd rep) tried twice. Still fine tuning grip width.
    PC 5*3 135, 185, 205, 215, 225 will move up next week

    Recovery day

    Warmed up with 800m jog, light stretching. Sq warm up 45#, 135#, 185#, 225#. Right elbow tendinitis started flaring up today. Kept me from performing chins.

    SQ 2*5 @ 280
    BP 3*5 @ 205
    Ring Dips 2*10 body-weight
    Overhead SQ 2*3 @ 155
    light snatch 2*3 @ 155

    Really focusing on putting on more body weight with GOMAD and more food consumption. See if I can hit body weight of 190-195 by October. Been weighing in around 183 consistently.

    Intensity Day

    Right elbow tendinitis, back strain and a failed 384 for 5 set the tone for my training today. Probably a hint to tone it down for a week and recover so that is what I will do. I've been doing good with GOMAD just need to heal a little then proceed in a week or two. I did manage to get a little work in today. (Really I'm just saying that to help myself feel better.... It feels like I didn't do shit.)

    SQ 1*5(fail, 3reps) @ 384
    PR 1*3 @ 145
    PC not happening
    did do some chins and shrugs... damn

    Recovery Day/ Heavy Bench

    Well I'm back from a couple days off. Did some sprints to warm up and stretching.

    6-60yd sprints
    BP 135*5 185*3 205*1 225*1 245*1 265*1 270*1 275*1 (Tied PR)
    Snatch 95*5 105*5 115*5 135*5
    Went on to do some accessory work with chest and back flys, shrugs, and band shoulder exercises.

    It was good to get back in the garage even in the 105 degree Oklahoma weather. Here come Tuesday I plan on maxing out on SQ, DL, and maybe PC. Pick back with volume day with TM starting Thursday or so.

    Default SQ and DL Max out

    Maxed out at SQ and DL. Squat went well with a PR of 423 failed DL at 423 so that frustrating.

    SQ 423(PR), 434 fail

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i3T1...&feature=g-upl[/video]

    here is the failed attempt

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laboo...&feature=g-upl

    DL @ 401, 423 fail

    DL was weak. I feel like my DL should be about what my squat is or even a little higher. I don't know if I should add more assistance DL work in or paractice sets. I'll add more lighter DL sets I believe in with program to practice form and of course keep eating and GOMAD. Any input and or advice would be much appreciated.

    Volume Day

    Felt good with all lifts. Obviously I needed that week off to rest. I added more sets to my DL to help with mechanics. DL's were sets of 5 that worked up to work set. DL sets of 5: 135, 225, 315, 360. Reset on DL and Press. Continuing to move forward on SQ.

    SQ 5*5 @ 320
    PR 5*5 @ 122
    DL 1*5 @ 360
