Squat 3x5: 267.5, 252.5, 252.5
Bench 5x5 212.5
Deadlift 1x5 340
Curlz- 1x75 reps with light bar(not sure what the weight was)

Notes: My low back kind of caved in the last 2 reps of deads. The high rep curlz were a new thing today.

Press 3x5 132.5
3x10 weighted back extensions - 25 lb plate

Notes: BW is moving up . Nice little "recovery" workout today. Ready for Tuesday's ID. The press was a grind but I put more emphasis on squeezing at the top today for the trapzzz.

Squat 3x5 272.5, 257.5, 257.5
Bench 5x5 205, 205, 205, 215, 215
Deadlift 1x5 340
Curlz

BW: 179
Notes: Bleh, I only got 272.5 4 times on squat cause I went too low on the last rep and drilled the safety bar or I'm pretty positive I would have got 5. The bench I'm normally used to was gone today because equipment is apparently in the process of getting moved to a new weight room, so I had to adjust to a shitty bench. Also, I only got 340x4 on deadlift cause I had a hell of a sharp pain in my upper back even though the reps felt fairly smooth. A very difficult workout to judge based on all the BS today but I guess I'll just keep on trucking and see what happens. I also slacked a little on diet over the past few days because I was cramming for a big exam and work, meetings, etc. The outlook the next couple weeks is better.

Squat 2x5 @ 220
Press 3x5 @ 132.5
3x10 Hypers 25 lb plate

BW: 179
Notes: Felt like I was able to find better low bar placement today. I was squatting light but the weight seemed to pop off the rack and felt "light" on my back. I woke up a little later than I wanted with the time change so I didn't eat much before the workout or my BW may have been higher. I skipped the weighted chins today cause I felt kind of weak on a semi-empty stomach. On to bigger and better things Tuesday.

Squat 3x5 272.5, 257.5, 257.5
Bench 1x5 235 - PR
Power clean 5x3 130
Barbell Curlz 3x10 80 lbs

BW: 179
Notes: Good workout. PR on bench. This is my last week of officiating basketball so my legs won't be taking such a beating after Thursday and I expect my BW/squat/deadlift to climb after that. Still hashing out some form on the PC.

Squat 3x5 272.5, 257.5, 257.5
Bench 5x5 215
Deadlift 1x5 340

BW: 179
Notes: Meh. I need to reset my deadlift 10 pounds. I'm trying to pull before I get my back flat. I'm on spring break now so I have plenty of time to eat. I want to be atleast 182 by the end of spring break since my weight has been stalling lately. No excuses. I'm also done officiating basketball so less running means I'll start adding weight to the squat again since my legs will be fresher.

[lifter285]

Squat 2x5 220
Press 3x5 135 - PR?
3x10 weighted back extensions - 25 lb plate
3x8 weighted chins - 45 lbs

BW: 180
Notes: I think 135 for 3x5 is probably a press PR but it was kind of ugly so I may reset a little and switch the rep range to 4x4 for a month. Excited for Tuesday's ID!
