Week 21
Today's workout
Squat: 198 lbs (90kg), 3 sets of 5 (deloaded)
Bench Press: 220 lbs (100kg), 5, 4, 3, 3, 3 (PR attempt)
Deadlift: 247.5 lbs (112.5kg), 5 (deloaded)
Chin Ups: +22 lbs (10kg), 3 sets of 5

Bench press was a killer, almost passed out grinding the 5th rep out of the first set.
Still feel like I'm going to vomit.

Measured my waist this morning waist appears to have increased 1/4”. This is pissing me off.
I might reduce calories on non training days.

I am also considering increasing training squat and deadlift 1.5 times, up from once a week.

Looks like squats and deadlifts are getting back up there. How is the back feeling? 64kg is awesome on the press!
