Squat 105lbs 3x5
I think I did much better job of getting the bar into low position than in my initial form check. I spread my grip a little wider, which resulted in a bit of wrist pain, but my wrists weren't as bent and the bar was lower. Squats felt good. Initially felt easy, but slowed down during the last set. 90 secs rest between sets.
Press 75lbs 3x5
I think my form was significantly better than during form check. Much better hip action. All three sets felt pretty heavy and were a little slow. 90 secs rest between sets.
Deadlift 150lbs 1x5
I bent my knees a little less than during form check, as I was advised to do. I also did a better job of setting the weight down without rounding my back, I think. I also generally slowed down.
Nutrition
Today was the first day I followed the nutrition plan outlined in my first post. It's about 1000 calories more than I've been eating each day for the past 6 months or so. Overall, it was surprisingly easy to get it all down. If I need to eat more for recovery or my weight gain goals, I think I should be able to handle it.
I did, however, discover that I don't like the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor from True Nutrition very much. Will definitely order something different next month. The chocolate fudge flavor is quite delicious, though!
