    I haven't tried that yet! I might try to work that in today! I think I have a tennis ball in my gym bag.

    Friday, May 24, 2019:
    Squat: 45x5x2, 110x5, 170x3, 230x2, 290x5x3 PR
    Bench Press: 45x5x2, 80x5, 115x3, 150x2, 180x5x3
    Deadlift: 135x5x2, 155x5, 195x3, 245x2, 290x5

    Notes:
    Squat: Depth and hip drive felt much better today. Set 2, rep 4 was a grind, not sure why, rep 5 my chin came up a lot. Set 3, reps 4 & 5 I basically led with my chin and lost my hip drive. There was a mirror in front of the squat racks, I think that might have messed me up a bit on those last few.

    Bench Press: Felt decent, last set was slightly more difficult. Lots of pressure on wrists. Probably getting close to time to invest in wrist wraps.

    Deadlift: I was lifting at a globo style gym in New Jersey, not sure if the plates were the right height. Additionally, it was a very stiff bar and thin plates, so I probably didn’t get quite as much help as I typically do from my gyms flexible bars and thick bumper plates. On toes for rep 1, fixed for rep 2 on. Didn't quite lock out reps 4 and 5.


    Monday, May 27, 2019:
    Squat: 45x5x2, 110x5, 170x3, 235x2, 295x5x2 PR, 295x3 (failed rep 4), 295x2
    Press: 45x5x2, 65x5, 85x3, 100x2, 120x5 PR, 120x4, 120x5
    Deadlift: 135x5x2, 155x5, 205x3, 255x3, 295x5

    Notes:
    Squat: Set 2 lost back bracing and hip drive on later reps. Set 3 rep 4 got loose at the bottom and came forward and lost it. Did 2 additional reps to finish the set. Ben has me repeating this rep on Friday.

    Press: Set 1 no hip bounce at all. Bar was all over the place in front of my face. Set 2 hip bounce was better, as was bar path, but I the bar got way in front of my face on the fifth rep and I failed it. Added one rep on at the end. Set 3 felt great and looked better. Ben has me moving up on the press for Friday as this looked like a technique issue, not a strength issue.

    Deadlift: Felt a lot worse than they looked, they actually looked pretty good. Big rests between reps 3/4 and 4/5

    Quick note on programming- Ben is having me move to a light squat day on Wednesday. Additionally, I am swapping out weighted chins for deadlifts on Wednesday, still deadlifting Monday and Friday.

    So do you deadlift 3 times/week again?

    Wednesday, May 26, 2019:
    Squat: 45x5x2, 95x5, 140x3, 185x2, 230x5x3
    Bench Press: 45x5x2, 80x5, 115x3, 150x2, 185x5x3 Matched PR
    Weighted Chin-ups: 3x5 @ 10#

    Notes:
    Squat: Compared to at 295#, everything felt nice and tight. Set 1 and 2 were good, 3 was a bit wobbly.

    Bench Press: I have some tightness (feels like a knot) in my right shoulder blade and neck from sleeping on a crappy bed this weekend, so that made things slightly uncomfortable but not painful. Set 1 was a bit unstable as I let the bar get in front of me. Set 2 I struggled on the last rep. Set 3 rep 3 I brought the bar too far forward but recovered and finished the set out strong.

    Weighted Chin-Ups: Finished without much difficulty except for set 3 rep 5.

    Hi Robston,

    Sorry for just getting back to you, I've been prepping for a move and fallen behind on my log a bit! I misread my programming, I have been alternating deadlifts. So, on the days I press, I have been deadlifting 1x5 and on the days I bench press I have been doing weighted chins 3x5. So a two week cycle looked like this:

    Monday (A):
    Squat
    Press
    Deadlift

    Wednesday (B):
    Light squat
    Bench
    Weighted chins

    Friday (A):
    Squat
    Press
    Deadlift

    Monday (B):
    Squat
    Bench
    Weighted chins

    Wednesday (A):
    Light squat
    Press
    Deadlift

    Friday (B):
    Squat
    Bench
    Weighted chins

    In addition to using the light squat day, we've been doing 2x3 with 2x5 at a back off weight to keep driving the intensity at a volume I can complete. I've been at this for a few weeks and, unfortunately, it looks like I'm reaching the end of my NLP for squat and deadlift.

    I'm going go check out your log now, good luck lifting!
