"pants rip" is that a new lift??? :-0

It's just a joke. But it seems like it will might be part of my routine every now and if I maintain the linear progression of weight. 1 x 1 pants ripped once a month.

Thursday caloroies ~ 2800 sleep 4.5 - 5 hrs

[lif]

Saturday calories 2000-2300 5-8 hr sleep
Squats
1 x 5 80
1 x 3 120
1 x 2 155
1 x 5 190
1 x 15 45
Bench
1 x 5 70
1 x 3 95
1 x 2 115
1x 5 140
Deadlifts
1 x 2 160
1 x 5 195

Notes:
Squats felt really hard realize I was off balance on my squat today, thought I could've failed on any of the sets (heels was even off for a second set near ending rep and was on toes and leaning forward?) and fixed balance on my third set made it a lot easier but still hard, drank friday and don't know how much sleep I got. 5-8? prob less 1000 calories busy day, I should've made atleast 2000 with more effort but was too occupied. By the time I could train for friday very late for bus and subway home, so moved it to saturday.
Bench felt hard
Deadlifts felt hard but good

Looking pretty good. Given that you seem to be going too far forward on the squat, practicing for sets of 15 with the empty bar at the end is likely counterproductive. There's a lot of temptation to go for "form work," but the sets of 5 are sufficient. That said, keep it up!

Thanks for your advice KriegWaters, it's much appreciated!

lifts felt okay, I ate meh sunday not the best but better and got decent amount of rest. struggle on last rep for press but manageable. A bit of abs and 1 x 2 pull up. The abs is prob unnecessary but I do them b/c sometimes I meet people in the gym and they invite me to do abs workout. ab visibility is bf% dependent though.

so didn't really count calories well this time or sleep but guessing.
thursday 2600 ~6.5hr sleep
friday 2000 so far, ~7hr sleep today

squat
1 x 5 85
1 x 3 125
1 x 2 165
3 x 5 205 (ugly last rep)
3 x 5 45
1 x 1 135 (wanted to test the safety guard, on my last rep worried about the height of the safety guard. cutting it close between me getting stuck and getting out)
press
1 x 5 60
1 x 3 75
1 x 2 90
1 x 4 105
2 x 5 105

note: squat was hard, bad form last rep. failed first set for press, pulled through on the rest with crappy form on last reps. clean was alright but definitely harder.
both bad diet and bad genetics. drank alcohol a bit today before i worked out. felt like a bit like regurgitating every time i drink a bit of milk or some food today or alcohol. a bit of gag reflex acting up.

(miss the first set, when I try to carry the bar over the chest my forms slips to crap and somehow I messed my reps up on the first set, then got a spotter and was able to do the second and third set really easily (he didn't touch when bench, did a fourth set b/c I miss some reps and it was really easy and kinda forgot I meant to do 2 but did 4 and stop)
Deadlift
1 x 2 175
1 x 5 215
(alright)

any tips for bench when carry bar over?

[Dale Waters]

Post a video. In general, set up as close to the bar as you can without hitting the uprights during the set, use locked arms when racking and unracking, take a deep breath, and feel the weight in your feet.

squat was hard
press messed up and tried lower weight and somehow messed that up. (none of reps were really crappy form, alright to good I think)
clean realize I was cleaning 35 plates not 25 when I was reracking. It felt hard at first and felt like I got a heavy blow when I caught it and left a bit of red on me but it was alright.

(misc)
I feel a bit annoyed/frustrated right now, and wanted to write off some steam in me. So I just found out recently some ones been drinking my milk from the fridge everyday even though it has my name printed in enormous letter, you cannot avoid reading it! I only knew b/c someone tipped me off about it otherwise I would've never known. Every single day for breakfast fills up the bowl till it completely full. I did suspect if the milk was suppose to be this light at times but had no certainty and took it as is. This means training data for calories is not accurate, I don't know which days I drank (for <4L) or how much to adjust by. damn it. I'm am a bit upset.
