As my log shows, I haven't lifted a lot the last week, and had a 10 day gap between the last time I benched and an 8 day gap between the last time I squatted. Is this weakness on my lifts just the result of a week layoff from much lifting? Should I reset squats or give them another go at 325?

Your last weight log was 2/09 @ 201. How much do you weigh now?

Oh and how tall are you?

5'8, 203. Haven't gained much weight at all this month. I've been eating the same amount of calories as usual, but the scale isn't moving up...

[strongdaniel]

Guess I need to eat more?

[misspelledgeoff]

That's what I'm thinking. I probly wouldn't expect to gain weight at the rate you did in the first two months of training. But I doubt 2 #'s of weight gain in 1 month is enough to fuel recovery at the weights you are getting too. Just my opinion tho.

Great work.

Ok. Will do.

I begin training this week for a 6 mile race that I'm doing in early may to raise money for wounded warriors. I am going to make it a mission to gain 10 lbs from today, until the day of the race.

Time to get back to eating.

I left some workouts out.

I failed to hit 5 reps on a 355lb deadlift for the third straight workout. It's time for me to reset the deadlift for the first time

I failed a 325 lb squat for the third straight workout (I got up to 5,3,5) and ended up with 2,1,1.

A powerlifter visiting my gym saw my bench and gave me some good pointers. He noticed my hands are too far in, and my bar path is at an angle.

I corrected it, and got 5,3,5 on the bench at 202 lbs.

I reset the squat at got 295x3x5.
