Today:
Squat 4x5 @ 250 - 5 minutes
Bench 5x5 @ 215 - 5 minutes
Chins 3x15 BW - 4 minutes

Ordered some C4 preworkout gainzZz. I was doing 4 day TM split recently and switched back to a 3 day template. I felt like recovery wasn't as good on the 4 day TM.

Getting more sleep lately. Moar sleep = moar gainzZz

Light Squat 2x5 @ 225
Press 3x5 @ 127.5
Deadlift 1x5 @ 300 Double overhand
BW: 187
Notes: Thought I was squeezing my back up on deadlifts but upon further review no bueno. Really going to have to work on that. Actually grilled for the first time yesterday believe it or not. Made up some chicken breasts and starting to dial in the diet.

Press 5x5 127.5 - 4.5 minutes
Weighted Chins 3x6 50lbs
Barbell Curls 2x5 95lbs

BW: 188
Notes: First day of classes, diet has been off but squat felt pretty easy, still struggling with hip drive. I may just have to give up on hip drive cause I think my back is mostly taking a beating. The press was kind of a grind but it also was at 3x5 the other day. First time doing weighted chins in a while. I usually can get those 3x8 but also had a little different set up as well. (climbing on box with weight belt around me to reach chin up bar)

[lifter285]

Squat (light) 2x5 225 - 4.5 mins
Bench 3x5 217.5 - 5 mins
Deadlift 1x5 300 double overhand - back still not staying straight. Going to try and wrap the thumbs w/ some athletic tape next time I hear that works well. My thumbs turn white during the set. Ouchie

BW: 189
Notes: Meh. Bench felt fine.
