    Thank you Folks, I really appreciate your support. Deadlift is a real struggle for me but slowly I will push it forward.

    Squat: 2x5@111kg (244lb)
    Deadlift: 3x5@111.5kg (245lb)

    Lying tricep extension: 4x12@17kg (37lb)
    Bicep curl: 4x12@28kg (61lb)

    Deadlift form was rather inconsistent. At the end I felt soreness on right side of my lowback/glute area. This is reoccurring problem.

    My maintenance squat went rather well. Some of the reps of the top set were too deep.

    Deadlift form was fine for the first 3 reps, last two were rather bad. Good part is that the whole set felt a bit easier than a week before.

    Squat: 2x5@111.5kg (245lb)
    Deadlift: 3x5@113.5kg (249lb)

    Lying tricep extension: 4x12@17.5kg (38lb)
    Bicep curl: 4x12@29kg (63lb)

    I felt a bit of pain in my low back during first two sets of deadlift, it went away after that. Not sure what caused it but possibly to was too many hours in a car during the weekend. Generally deadlift didn't feel bad. In case of barbell curls those 12 reps was absolutely all I had in the tank.

    Squat: 1x5@138.5kg (304lb), 2x5@127.5kg (280lb)

    Hamstring curl: 4x12@36kg (79lb)
    Barbell curl: 4x8@30kg (66lb)

    This workout was dominated by left knee pain. I think it will just go away in a few days. Nothing bad due to the knee issue happened but made me worried. Overall squat was not bad however last week it felt better.

    Squat: 2x5@104.5kg (229lb)
    Deadlift: 1x5@133kg (292lb) 1RM,2RM,3RM,4RM,5RM PR

    Lying tricep extension: 4x8@20kg (44lb)
    Leg extension: 4x12@35kg (77lb)
    Barbell curl: 4x10@30kg (66lb)

    My left knee was slightly better that day. I decided to we the belt for deadlift. I generally find difficult to set up, with the belt it is even harder. This time it was not as bad and I must say I could feel that it helped. Surely not as much as in case of squat but it did. I was worried about my grip so next time I may consider using chalk.

    Definitely use the chalk, if you were worried about grip this time. There's no need for your deadlifts to stall when it's a simple grip issue.

    Squat: 2x5@112kg (246lb)
    Deadlift: 3x5@115kg (253lb)

    Lying tricep extension: 4x12@18.5kg (40lb)
    Lat pulldown: 4x12@42.5kg (93lb)
    Bicep curl: 4x12@30kg (66lb)

    Oddly in the first set of squats the depth as at parallel and one of the reps was most likely above parallel, hard to say for sure. It has surprised me as usually I squat too deep. The second set looked better and all the reps broke the parallel but none of them excessively. Deadlift was not too bad. Typical stuff like hard set up and too much time needed to reset between reps (circa 6 seconds). Maybe this just requires more time, it was much worse a couple months back.
