    After several months of f&%karounditis (yet again), I'm starting fresh. Working back up through the end of LP and planning to transition to intermediate programming, possibly TM or HLM, afterwards. Also, I'm in Afghanistan, so barring injury I'll be rather focused for a while. After several stints of LP, alternating with other types of programming, some of which I logged on this forum, I am attempting to actually DTP and get my squat up to respectable weights. Immediately prior to starting this log, I was doing 5/3/1.

    Original log is here. My name isn't Cicero, and I bear little resemblance to the historical figure, hence the reboot.

    40 y.o. male, 5'5", 194 lbs. Using Jordan's TBAB guidelines for recomp, which seems to be working pretty well. Fatigue is becoming difficult to manage, so I will now switch Wednesday to a light squat day, and continue alternating deadlift and power cleans, with chins added after power cleans.

    Squat: 5 x 3 x 265
    Press: 5 x 3 x 110
    Deadlift: 5 x 1 x 310

    Squat: 5 x 3 x 270

    Welcome back. Hopefully this fresh start aids you in keeping consistent log. It'll be great to see your progress. Weights are pretty solid. I just started a light squat day myself but didn't notice a huge difference. I'm sure it will become much more appreciated as the weights grow. I see you've added in the Power Cleans too. They are great! Keep up the solid effort

    Squats: 290 x 5 x 3
    Bench: 185 x 5 x 3
    PC: 145 x 3 x 5

    My power clean form needs work. I can't take video, but I'm pretty sure I'm not dragging the bar up my legs during the first pull, and I'm also using arm pull. I think I'm going to deload and work that out.

    I'm doing chins later this evening.

    Squats: 230 x 5 x 3 (light day)
    Press: 125 x 5 x 3
    Deadlift: 350 x 5 x 1

    Felt really good today. Press was probably RPE 7.5. Deadlift was RPE 8ish.

    Default 3/20/2017

    Squats 295 x 5 x 3
    Bench 190 x 5 x 3
    Power Clean 95 x 3 x 5
    Chins 5, 4, 3

    Also did some PC jumping drills with a broomstick to ingrain the movement pattern (sans arm-pull). The arm pull is one aspect of the movement that I'm working to fix. Another is bar path, and moving the bar fast too soon (I believe these are related). The broomstick drill seems to really help on both counts.

    Squat 240 x 5 x 3 (Light day)
    Press 130 x 5 x 3
    Deadlift 360 x 5 x 1

    Deadlift is starting to feel heavy (RPE 8.5). Press feels good (RPE 7.5).
