    SQ 156 kg (343) 4+g, 3, 3+g
    BP 85 kg (187) 3 x 5
    CU BW 4 X AMRAP (6+2 NEG(0,0,5), 6, 6, 4+g)

    Mondays are kicking my butt right now, but I figure the combination of a Monday grind and a Wednesday de-load gives a good setup for progress on Friday.

    SQ 124.5 kg (273) 3 x 5
    P 63 kg (138) 3 x 5
    DL 156 kg (343) 1 x 5

    Gotta get my knees forward and hips back at the same time.

    Really pleased that my press is still moving up considering the trouble I had with it a while ago.

    DL starting to feel properly heavy again - that's a good thing.

    BP 87 kg (191) 3 x 5
    CU BW 4 X AMRAP (6+2NEG(0,0,5), 6, 6, 6)

    Elbows were really suffering throughout Bench and Chins. Extra happy that the final set of CU ended at #6. Time to add negs to set #2.

    Friday 09/03/18

    SQ 158 kg (347) 3 x 5
    P 63* kg (138) 3 x 5
    DL 160 kg (352) 1 x 5

    Power was out in the weight room. I had to lift on the bro floor. They don't have micro plates out there so I could only make 63 kg for press.

    Glad to get 64 kg press done after a miss and not being able to attempt it last week.

    Monday 19/03/18

    SQ 161 kg (354.2) 3 x 5
    P 65 kg (143.0) 3 x 5
    DL 164 kg (360.8) 1 x 5

    Was able to control elbows through the squat for much less pain in arms. Maybe a slight biceps tendon twitch.

    Tried the press 1.5 after hearing Matt and Scott describe it on the podcast. First two sets were good. Third worked (as in I made fahve), but I stuffed the breathing strategy up so it wasn't super easy. Still easier than 5 x press 2.0.
