+Squats took a bigger jump today due to how easy last workout was and some advice I read on forums about when to stop 10lb jumps. Strength wise I started very conservatively, but I had tightness / form / joint issues having been to sedentary. My movement feels stable and strong now, even holding a low squat at body weight was painful at first. I think I may get another 10lb jump before dropping to 5lb's again. I don't want to overreach, and am enjoying the process, 4 workout ago 5lb jumps felt right, now 10lb's do, I sense I will know when 5lb jumps need to return. Looking at form from the side as opposed to a 45 degree angle was very helpful, I can see bar path problems due to not sitting far enough back. Thinking about this further it may be wise to return to 5lb jumps now and not get ahead of myself. In 2 months, from now I don't think I'll be worried about it. I suspect I would mess up the LP doing another bigger jump. I wont do it.
+Deadlift is becoming a challenge, I may try 5lb jumps a few more times before alternating barbell rows. I see the weight comes up on my toes, have to focus on midfoot, I'll setup with the bar closer to shins.
+Overhaed Press felt good on final set
+Weight 292lb (+10lbs), weight gain, work belt has size has remained the same
