    SQ w/ belt 370×4
    TNG BP 275×4×3, 275×3
    PS 145×2×7

    Session start: 0345
    Session end: 0530
    Q1: Rest Periods? 6m SQ/ 5m BP/ 3m PS
    Q2: Weight jumps? 0lb SQ/ +2lb BP/ na PS
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 4h30m/ 220Protein/ 460Carbs/ 70Fat
    SQ Notes: Felt really confident after coming close to finishing the 3×5 @this weight last Wednesday. Was immediately slapped in the face by the reality of my poorly managed recovery factors. During the holiday weeked I had no concern about caloric intake/protein needs, binge drinking, and a lack of food/sleep the day before.
    BP Notes: Though i could grind through feeling like shit but i caught up to me on the last set.
    PS Notes: last 2 sets were very ugly. Did not program these but decided the workout had turned to shit and i need a "W".
    Misc: I will eat and sleep like crazy the next 48h. Will reattempt 370 on SQ but for 4×4. Will reattempt BP on friday. Im banking on the fact that last weeks programming was working around the holiday. Still believe that if the recovery factors are managed i can still move forward with the LP

    Hey man, following your log but mostly trying to stay out of your sh#$. But I'm curious: What's your AR 600-9 data looking like? [Edit: I see your measurements at the front of your thread. I can plug them in myself. My bad.]

    Keep up the small W's until you can score the big ones. You're killin' it.

    Q1: Rest Periods? 5m SQ/ 5m PR2.0/ 5m DL
    Q2: Weight jumps? +5lb SQ/ +5lb PR2.0/ +5lb DL
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 6h30m/ 220Protein/ 395Carbs/ 70Fat
    SQ Notes: Programmed 375×4×4 for today and failed in epic fashion. Will be backing off 10% and trying to bring life back to this exercise.
    Press 2.0 Notes: Last weeks presses were very very easy. Needed a win afterthe frustration with squats which i got with the press. Each rep flew off the chest so im considering another 5lb jump.
    DL Notes: Solid effort and left nothing in the tank. Hopefully i can hold out for my short term goal of 435×5.

    @GeoffBischoff i have improved on the tape test. It doesnt really matter a ton to me but it does quiet some criticism from command about getting taped.

    Q1: Rest Periods? 3-5m PC/ 5-7m BP/ 4m SQ
    Q2: Weight jumps? -45lb SQ/ 0lb BP/ +5lb PC
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 8h/ 220Protein/ 460Carbs/ 70Fat ~3,350calories
    SQ Notes: Backed off 10% and took the belt off. Happy to be back in the win column on this exercise. I will try to beat my beltless 3×5 PR next week with sets across @340.
    BP Notes: Very uneven bar position. My L elbow was probably a silid 2" lower than my R. Need to work on this recurring problem.
    PC Notes: My god this took forever and is a PR since i started training for general strength. However my rack position is the thing that frightens childeren at night. Total garbage and my wrists let me know every rep. For clarity i was catching the bar in a quarter squat @about the distal end of your anterior deltoid then as i forcefully drove up the bar would leave my arms and fall in the proper position.

    SQ Notes: Very solid session. Went for a 6th rep on the last set because its a small W since the reset.
    PR2.0 Notes: Can definitely get to 185 based off these last few sessions
    DL Notes: No way around it I hitched the last rep. Didnt know what i was doing but tge bar clearly got hiked up to lockout by a slight second knee bend. Will be more careful to not prize the PR over cheating in the future.

    Session end: 0530~Garage/ 0730~PRT
    Q1: Rest Periods? 5m SQ/ 5m BP/ 2-3m PC
    Q2: Weight jumps? -35lb SQ/ +3lb BP/ +5lb PS
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 5h30m/ 220Protein/ 460Carbs/ 70Fat ~3,350calories
    SQ Notes: Tight L Hip Flexor (i think iliacus) that made walking and standing upright incredibly difficult. For PRT we run +3miles every day then rack out 100s of flutter kicks, sit ups, and leg raises so im not surprised im having problems. Took me a lot of warm up sets with an empty bar, a solid pair of compression shorts, and one tight fucking ace wrap to work my way down too depth. Very happy with the PR especially since the only way i could tolerate 340 was by bringing my stance in close.
    BP Notes: Hip made it difficult to get on and off the bench. But i smashed this weight and based of the film could have probably pulled off 2×5 with it. That forth set of four was maximal though i wont try 288×5×3 for now.
    PS Notes: Conducted the snatch drills out of Greg Everetts Oly lifting encyclopedia for my warm up. Then power snatched all my doubles but i overhead squatted my last reps on every set.

    Q3: Sleep & calories? 5h/ 220Protein-460Carbs-70Fat ~3,350calories
    SQ Notes: Very hard fought session with the last rep of the 3rd set being an all out grind. L Hip flexor has improved but still not 100%
    PR2.0 notes: Proud of this one. Did not imagine at the start of the LP2.0 i could hit this. Really been feeling the groove as of late.
    DL notes: Loaded the bar got in position started to pull and felt nauseated and light headed so i immediately stopped. Went to work after.
    PC notes: PRT was cancelled so i returned home and figured Id try for a pulling PR. Was just to lethargic to really explode. 2nd rep was right at my nipples but i was looking down so when i dipped my elbows were tucked at my side and i basically guided the bar back to the earth.

    SQ Notes: Form was poor but bar speed was very solid. Had trouble controlling depth and found myself going ATG.
    BP Notes: Trouble with equal scapular retraction and the arch was mildly uncomfortable in ny rectus abdominis
    Misc Notes: Ive had severe NVD for the past 24h. Basically spent every rest period and all of sunday in the bathroom. Hopefully this passes before Wednesday

    Q1: Rest Periods? 3m SQ/ 5-8m PR1.0
    Q2: Weight jumps? N/a SQ/ 0lb PR1.0
    Q3: Sleep & calories? 13h30m/ 220Protein-460Carbs-70Fat ~3,350calories
    SQ Notes: These were light as expected. I worked on widening my stance to the standard of heels @ the acromionclavicular joint.
    PR1.0 Notes: I had programmed PR2.0 but i attempted my first set of 183×5×3 and dry heaved at the top of my 1st rep. Wanted to get something productive done so I completed my last unsuccessful PR1.0 workout. Bar speed was good for me feeling under the weather.
    Misc: Going on 72hrs of NVD. Meds are mildly helping me get through. It didnt get better with 24hour CQ on monday followed by going back into work around noon on my comp day. Im thankful that i can still get my work done and hit the gym so long as i have a straight shot to a restoom for my episodes

    SQ Notes: I bought the pro mini, and pro monster mini bands to use for my wife post pregnancy. I'll elaborate on that at a later date because for now it doesnt have much to do with anything. However I couldnt help myself and i doubled the pro minis up on the bar for my ascending warm ups. It was very strange but not very challenging. I took them off for 355 and found i was more explosive on my 1st work set coming out of the hole. Sets 2&3 were not as noticeable but it was interesting to see a very short lived benefit. 355×5×3 beltless was very doable with not a single grinded rep. Very happy with my squat progress on LP especially since i recently had to reset after attempting 370.
    BP Notes: Put pro mini bands on again. However this time they fucked with my bar path mildly. I wont attribute the bands to my failure since i previously failed the same sets & reps on monday. The only real win on the bench was that i looked at the footage and i grinded against my sticking point (smack dab in the middle ~7" from chest) for a little over 2sec. So while its not a win in the sense of intensity or volume it's an indication that ive developed the ability to strain for far longer than when i started.
    DL Notes: Not much to say here. Form wasnt great but it wasnt terrible. Cut my hand on the second set so i stopped @2.
    Misc: Puked before my workout which made me actually feel better. Then theres the small fact it was -4 outside. Had the mini heater on all night in the garage but the it probably didnt get above the high 30s. Therefore i was rockin multiple layers and racking up empty bar sets like it was going out of style
