Saturday, 5/7
Weight: 188.5
Waist: 39.0
Sleep: 7h41m

Squat: 45x5, 45x5, 95x5, 145x3, 195x2, 235x1, 265x5x3 (+5)

OHP: 45x5, 45x5, 60x5, 75x3, 90x2, 110x1, 125x5x3 (+2.5, PR)

Hit the squat on the third try and advanced again on the OHP. Headed out of town on a work trip and will miss a few gym days, which is my first gap in training since the beginning of the year, so not too concerned.

Squats harder than I expected, but pleasantly surprised with progress on the OHP.

Tuesday, 5/17
Weight: 188.8
Waist: -
Sleep: 7h20m

Bench: 45x5, 45x5, 70x5, 95x3, 120x2, 150x1, 170x5x3 (-10% deload)

Deadlift: 135x5, 135x5, 160x5, 185x3, 210x2, 240x1, 270x5 (-10% deload)

Came home from the work trip with a cold/infection which turned out not to be covid (despite confirmed exposure on the trip) so a few missed sessions turned into closer to 10 days between sessions on each of the lifts so I'm deloading 10% across the board and building back up. A little disappointing but it is what it is.
