    6/11

    Squat - Light Day
    285 x 5 x 3

    Bench Press
    240 x 5 x 3

    FIrst set felt great. When this stalls again I’ll run a top set then the back off sets.

    Deadlift
    365 x 2, then 1,1,1 to get the volume.

    My grip is so soft. Not happy about that.

    Finally did a whole workout, so that part is encouraging. 73 min total.

    Way to grind through it!
    Strong work!
    There is always straps or reversed grip. (I'm assuming you're using double overhand grip).
    Thanks Danomite! for linking that Robert Santana article. Not sure How I missed that. I sure needed that.

    Struggling with consistency still. Couldn’t hit 360 for 5, but got the volume across 2 sets.

    Thanks Cheese. I’ve actually been trying to hook grip. I may not be doing it right. It’s intense pressure on my left thumb and not much on my right. I’ve never tried to pull with a reversed grip. I think my biggest problem right now is staying consistent.

    Squat
    315 x 5
    360 x 5 - PR
    315 x 5

    Hitting 360 x 5 fired me up today. I felt like a bag of crap while warming up, but I hit 315 x 5 fairly easy on my first work set and thought, what the hell let’s give 360 a shot.

    Press
    160 x 5 x 3

    8 minutes on the rowing machine.

    I can tell that my form is suffering from a lack of reps.

    Only set

    Still just treading water(at best). Not training or eating very seriously right now.

    Felt this in the pit of my stomach. That's a tough place to be. I hope you're feeling ok and you get back to it soon. How are your power cleans going?
