    6 days since last training.

    At lunch, in company Gym,
    Press, worked up to 137.5x3,4,3. Left side moved much slower. I felt rushed because it was jammed with people today.

    at home, after work

    SSB squat 45x5,5
    135x5
    185x3
    225x2
    245x2
    280x5,5,5. good depth on all squats. Didn't feel bad at all.

    Deadlift
    135x5,5
    225x5---felt heavy as hell ??
    315x3. (I skipped 275 because I was feeling tired.
    345x5. That was just damned hard. no way around it. Damned hard. thats a 5 rep PR.

    Wednesday i slipped over to the company gym and did some presses at 115x5x3. Then did some bicep and tricep silliness

    This morning
    Ssb squat
    45x5,5,5
    135x5
    185x3
    225x2
    250x2
    295x5,5, 6. PR. 300lbs next week

    28 degrees in garage gym so i called it quits.

    After wrk i went to company gym and used their CAP bar and weights. Weights are loose on barbell and knurling sucks.

    Deadlift
    45x5,5
    135x5,5
    225x5
    315x3
    335x1,1. Was supposed to be a double but hook grip failed me
    355x5 mixed grip. PR weight but i felt my form slip on the last two reps. I will repeat that weight next week and claim it as a proper PR when I’m confident of the form.

    Dumbbell bench press
    25x10
    35x10
    50x8
    60x8
    70x8
    80x8. Shoulder hurts too much to push past this.

    Tricep cable pushdown
    Lat pulldowns
    Dumbbell curls.

    starting strength coach development program
    NLP is still working for me so I am loving it. I am hoping that in a month, I will be up to 315. Being able to put 3 wheels on the squat is something I have chased for a long time and had given up as unobtainable long ago.
