    Weight confirmed @ 171#. Eating like crazy trying to put on some weight. I've been following the TM for about 4 weeks. Prior to that I have a couple of inconsistent months of bastardized weight training while trying to get my head straight after some life changing events. during that time lost some weight, a decent amount of strength and a lot of motivation. Coming back at it with a vengeance though. Currently deployed.

    Goals:
    weight= healthy 200#.
    DL= 600#
    squat= 450#
    press= 225#
    bench= 315#
    C&J= 150kg
    snatch= 110kg

    Feeling pretty beat up today. I am sure part of it has to do with not eating enough. The last couple of days have not been that great for meal selection here(currently deployed navy) very limited protein and fat options though there are tons of carbs(pancakes, waffles, rice and pasta).

    Squat: 1x5 @ 325# didn't happen... ended up only getting 3. Got the other 2 after a minute rest. going to try that weight again next week, if it doesn't happen again then I will reset or possible go to an upper/lower 4 day split.

    Bench: 1RM ended at 265# felt good was more than I had expected so happy with that

    PC: 3x5 @ 185# went well(except for 1 where I rushed it a bit) but they are getting heavy.

    followed up with a few sets of Kirk shrugs first time doing these went pretty well.

    Intensity Day:

    Squat 5x1 @ 325# went well, heavy but easier than last week!

    Press 1RM @ 190# blew past target of 175-180# to match a lifetime PR

    DL 5x1 @ 395# this was after i realized mid 5th rep that I had added wrong and loaded 385# the first time! DL seems to be heading back up. Definitely think I like DL on day 3 better than day 1!

    1 set to failure(25reps) Kroc rows @ 80#

    Body weight up ~4-7# in the last 1.5wks sitting at about 175-178#(different scales)
