Switching deadlift to 2x3. My grip seems to be slipping.
Overall good workout. Loving working out in my garage! Took a 5 min dip in my pool afterward. It was 35 F today with a thin layer of ice. Now time for some sunbathing.

Another great workout! Squats were grinders on the last rep, as was OHP on set #1. Next week will incorporate a light squat day, and hopefully I'll break past my last plateau of 325x4!

232.5x5

Notes:
Another good workout! My shoulders are starting to get a little sore I think from benching. It just doesn't feel good anymore. I had previously had a shoulder injury from flat benching, and incline or upright pressing seems to be OK. At this point, I may just focus on Squats, Pressing and Pulling. Keep it simple.

Squat:

OHP:
115x5x2
Deadlift:
415x3
395x3
Notes:
So I'm slowly transitioning to TM as things are slowing down a little. Since I'm going to stop benching (due to shoulder pain), Wednesdays will be my light squat and light pressing days. I'll see if I can keep hitting PRs 2x per week for a few more weeks before officially switching to TM.

Notes:
Woo I hit a PR on squats! My last attempt at 325 I only hit 4. I'm going to try to keep this set up for atleast a few more weeks before switching to TM. Not sure what happened on my Pressing... I may try another reset, especially since I'll be Pressing 3x per week now. I'll see if I can bust past this plateau at 5s, but if not, I'll switch to triples.

Week 28 - Workout 1:
Squat:
330x5 < PR
300x5x2
Push Press:
135x5
135x3x3
Row:
200x5x2
Notes:
Great workout! Happy to continue progression with squats! Last rep was a real grinder, but I got it!
Experimented with push presses. I like them but will take some getting used to. I felt like sets of 3 would be better, so I think I'll do 5x3 or 4x4 or something. We'll see.
I'm already looking ahead at programming TM, so I'm kind of in a transition. I'd like to begin incorporating Push Jerks. Maybe set up a HLM (Push Jerk/Strict Press/Push Press) especially now that I'm not benching.

Short and sweet workout. It was recovery day, and heavy deadlifting. I could have gotten 420x5 but my grip gave out.

Squats were a real struggle... To be fair, I was a little distracted this morning. Head not really in the game. Nonetheless, I feel like I'm finally at the end of my NLP, and I think it's time for Texas Method. Here's the set up I'm thinking:
Volume Day:
Squat 4x5 @ 85% 5RM
Push Press 5x3 @ 85% 3RM
Row 3x5
Recovery Day:
Squat 2x5 @ 80% VD
Press 3x5 @ 80% VD
Chinups 3x5
Pushups 2 sets
Intensity Day:
Squat 1x5
Push Press 1x3
Deadlift 1x5
