    Squat: 200x5x3, 4m rest. Felt good today
    Bench Press: 177.5x5x3, 6m rest. Biceps sore again. Bar path a little off, last rep started to slow down.
    Deadlift (I): 255x5. Held the last rep for 4 or 5 secs to work on grip. Left hand seems to be the weak point.

    Weight: 193.6 lb

    Added in some chins later in the day.

    Chin ups: BWx4;x3;x2, Purplex7,x4x2

    Nice work! Are you aiming to hit 200lbs body weight? I saw that you’ve been able to put on a good amount since you first started logging awhile back

    Hi Jared. Thanks! I'm actually getting a little fluffy around the waistline . I was starting to do a calorie deficit but I haven't quite committed to it. I'm going to just maintain or maybe try to lose a couple pounds, but not worry about it too much right now. I'm going to see how much I can squeeze out of LP, then eventually give Andy Baker's Garage Gym Warrior HLM a shot. When I'm done with LP, I'll be more consistent with my calorie counting and probably add in some cardio once or twice a week.

    Squat: 210x5x3, 4m rest. No belt, back felt good. Man, I was winded after these, my conditioning is pretty bad.
    Press: 120x5x3, 6m rest. Not too bad, last rep slowed down.
    Deadlift (V): 240x5x3, 5m rest. Held the last rep ~5-6 secs.

    Weight: 194.2 lb

    Fluffy just means the conditions are good for growth when you’re consistently lifting. 😀 You’ve made good progress all around. Keep it rolling!

    Light Squat: 175x5x2, 4m rest.
    Bench Press: 180x5x3, 6m rest.
    Power Clean: 117.5x3x5, 1.5 min rest. Form was not that good today. Pulling a little early and difficulties racking.
    Chin Ups: BWx5;x3x2 [Machine #1] -40x8x2;x6, 3m rest.

    Weight: 192.8 lb

    Woke up feeling like death yesterday and didn't get that good of sleep. Hopefully, it was a 24 hour bug. Felt good enough to make it to the gym. Definitely wasn't on my A game, but got the job done. I'm having trouble keeping a consistent schedule lately hopefully I can keep hitting 3 workouts a week. I'll try my best.

    Squat: 220x5x3, 6m rest.
    Press: 122.5x5x3, 8m rest. New PR! First set felt hard but I hit my groove after that. Hopefully I can keep progressing for a little while. I’ll move to triples the next time I get stuck.
    Deadlift (I): 265x5. Tried holding last rep but didn’t last long enough to count .

    Weight: 193.1 lb

    Squat: 225x5x3, 8m rest. No belt. Starting to feel heavy for me. I'll add the belt next heavy day.
    Bench Press: 182.5x5x3, 6m rest. Wasn't sure if I was going to get the last rep.
    Deadlift (V): 245x5x3, 5m rest. Held the last rep ~5 sec.

    Sick again yesterday. Think I'm still getting over something. Felt sluggish today, hopefully I'll have more energy next workout. Schedule is a little busy this week not sure if I'll get 3 workouts in.

    Nice work!
    Getting sick deep into LP doesn’t sound enjoyable.
    You’re brave to be squatting beltless on your heavy days.
    Does your bench always feel like you’re max effort on the last reps even with 2.5lb jumps?
