Everything is feeling pretty well. Deads are finally at my bodyweight. Not sure if I need to switch to a mixed grip yet. So far I've been going with the double overhand grip.

[Paul Sousa]

My advice on the grip, don't go switch grip until your grip is what causes you to fail. Grip strength will help with press and bench so keep going double overhand as long as possible.

Didn't work out on Saturday. Combination of 1 1/2 days of walking around a product expo, and a Friday night of a 80's Rock Tribute band at the Hard Rock in Orlando, FL. Makes for a really tired and worn out person.

My calves were a little sore starting out on my squats. Maybe from all the excess walking last week? Squats and presses felt pretty good. Getting heavier though.

Deadlifts felt like I might need to either slow down or start introducing power cleans. My upper right trapezius has been sore for the past few days and was hurting a little during all my deadlift reps, warmups on. It didn't affect me but it was just nagging me. The last 2 reps of my deadlifts were pretty hard.

As far as recovery, up to this workout I had enough sleep, but I think I might not be getting enough protein in my diet.

[Mr.City]

I usually am pretty conservative with deadlifts. Plus I think you'll enjoy power cleans. They're fun.

Everything felt pretty darn good. Squats were heavy but went up great. Bench felt great! Deads were still getting heavy. I've decided to Deadlift again this Friday, my next A day, and then this Saturday do my power clean intro workout and add it into my next B day (Monday).

Maybe it was the McGriddle breakfast and the Pizza Hut buffet today that made everything easy, who knows? Have to go to the sports store to buy another set of 45's. I've only got a 300lb set right now. So while the 2 wheel squat was a milestone for me, I didn't get to experience the whole effect with the 35's and 10's. But 225lbs will always be 225lbs no matter which way you load it!

WS: 285x2 - Missed Set

Well Squats and Presses felt great. No problems. Deadlifts were another story tonight. I was planning on switching programming this week to doing Deadlifts on my A day and Power Cleans on my B day. So now I'm definitely going to do it. I started to feel a little queezy during my middle warmup sets.
So I guess the process would be for me to power clean on this next Monday, then re-attempt the 285x5 on Wednesday. If I don't make it on Wednesday then I'll do a re-set.

This week has sucked. I've been drained. I Skipped Mon and Fri and only did squats on Wed. Not sure exactly what it is but energy has been nil. So yeah. My pretty lame excuse for having a crappy week.

WS: 285x5 *redemption*

Squats felt pretty good. Last set on Press was kinda tough. Redeemed myself on my missed set on 12/19 of the Deadlift. I used a mixed grip on my work set. I supinated my non-dominant hand.

[Bloodninja666]

Nice progress in a month.
