    height: 1.77m
    bw: 75.5 kg
    late 20s fully intact male who's work schedule precludes either 6,000 calories a day or 2 hour workouts
    squat: 100 kg 5, 5, 5
    1st rep of each set was high, will repeat
    ohp: 51.25 kg 5, 5, 5
    hard, but this is a beltless post-squatting PB, and only a microload away from equalling my overall 3 * 5 PB
    chin up: +18.75 kg 5; +8.75 kg 5, 5
    hard but it's a deadhang PB

    i'm not using belts for anything atm. probably won't use them for squats or deadlifts for a while as they seem to give me a sore

    squat: 80 kg 5; 90 kg 5; 100 kg 5
    finding a weight i can do for 5 all to proper depth
    bench press: 70 kg 5, 5, 5
    all reasonably easy. micro load on from here and will consider a belt
    deadlift: 137.5 kg 5
    last 2 reps are work to get past the knee but all good otherwise

    squat: 95 kg 5, 5, 5
    made sure i actually went to depth on each rep this time
    ohp: 52.5 kg 4, 4; 47.5 kg 5
    belted up for this but belt felt too loose. will try again
    chin up: 96.4 (76.4+20) kg 5; 86.4 kg 5, 5
    got the 5 but all sorts of messed up. last rep chin only just cleared bar. will stay at this weight

    squat: 97.5 kg 5, 5, 5
    really rather easy now i've found the right spot for the bar
    bench press: 71.25 kg 5, 5, 5
    all reasonably easy. belted up better than for ohp last time
    deadlift: 140 kg 5
    last 2 reps are work to get past the knee. if anything, easier than last time

    squat: 100 kg 5, 5, 5
    all good
    ohp: 52.5 kg 5, 4, 3
    balance in belt seems a touch off. all misses were due to balance issues, and i actually almost fell over in the middle of the first, successful set
    chin up: 75.9+20 kg 5; +10 kg 5, 5
    less ugly than last attempt

    squat: 102.5 kg 5, 5, 5
    hard. gonna do these mon and fri from here on
    bench press: 72.5 kg 1, 3; 65 kg 5
    bizarre fail on the first set: right arm locked out on second rep while left arm didn't budge an inch. was spooked on second set and didnt try for 5
    deadlift: 142.5 kg 5
    near limit. i will try to equal my PB on friday and then put this on a weekly progression on weds

    2nd set, last rep, right arm locked out, left did nothing. bizarre. i wonder if its due to my fingers around squat grip? will change that and have another go on monday
    chin up: 76.2+21.25 kg 4; +11.25 kg 5, 5
    LP is over here, going to do volume mondays and intensity fridays from now on

    squat: warm up
    left elbow hurt like hell, couyldn't even finish warm up
    bench press: 72.5 kg 4, 5; 65 kg 5
    didn't attempt last rep on 1st set. will try again, perhaps go top set and drop if i'm still not getting it
    deadlift: 145 kg 5
    equals PB, very much limit. time to set some weekly outright PBs

    AMRAP on the last triple is probaby a 5-rep PB. i've definitely tried and failed 55 kg for 5 a couple of times
    squat: 100 kg 5, 5, 5
    better grip but now the bar is fractionally too far up my back. need to do the low bar stretch more
    chin up (V): 75.4 + 11.25 kg 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
    sets 1-3 were easy, arms were totally gone by the last set, barely managed it

    was supposed to be top set and drop sets, but i chickened out after 3 reps on top set, so i got myself to have another go at it instead of the second drop set
    deadlift: 147.5 kg 3; 130 kg 3
    technically a beltless PB. chickened out on what was supposed to be a set of 5, punished myself with an extra triple.
