    late post for yesterday's workout:

    squat:

    305 3x5. first time squatting in lifting shoes. Big, big difference. my torso stayed a lot more vertical, and I felt more balanced. Depth was easier to hit. I was pretty surprised that they helped as much as they did.

    bench:
    215 3x5. still going up. this felt moderately challenging, but still pretty smooth.

    chinups:

    5.5, 5, 4.

    I am having a tough time recovering from three heavy squat days a week, as you can see by the fact that I'm programming in extra rest days. Accordingly, I am making an executive decision:

    1. I am going to use light squats one day a week.

    2. I am cutting good-mornings from the chinup/pullup days.

    bodyweight: 231.

    squats - 80% of Monday
    245 3x5

    press -- ok, fine - seated barbell press: yes, I know. no, I don't have room. yes, I did not have time to get to the gym. no, i am not going to lose sleep tonight because i pressed from a seated position.

    115 3x5

    deadlift:

    365 3x5 (no straps). I experimented with a sumo stance on some warmup sets. Not for me, or at least, not without someone experienced giving me some tips. felt akward.

    Ok. Took last day of last week off because I had lower ab soreness that made me think hernia. Pretty sure I don't have one - yet, so went back to it today.

    squat
    310 3x5. felt strong.

    bench
    220 3x5. the progress here is really amazing to me. I feel like I can make another 5lb jump.

    power clean
    185 2x3. What?? Two sets?? My wife told me I was (i) shaking the entire house; and (ii) waking up the baby. I was given a cease and desist order. I will repeat this weight on Wednesday, which otherwise wouldn't be a PC day. Felt very strong.

    Have not been updating this log consistently. I keep a hard copy log in a notebook as well, so it's down there. anywho, today's:

    squat:

    320 5x3 - worked back up to this and today went very well, felt strong, didn't get folded in half, good stuff.

    bench:

    227.5 5x3 -- micro-loading begins.

    power clean:

    190 3x5. felt good, I think another 5 lb jump is in order here. bw. 232.

    starting strength coach development program
    squat:
    330 5x3.

    bench
    235 5, 5, 4 (5th rep got help from a spotter.). should have microloaded this, I'm a greedy bastard and deserve it. Ah, well, I'll get 235 next time and I will microload thereafter.

    clean
    185 3x5. for some reason, this felt heavy, and i didn't move to my planned weight of 195. wouldn't have happened. I am going to repeat 190 next time, and microload after that.
