Nice job on the PR! Keep it going!

I see that I have a lot more gains on the Deadlift. My main worry is getting back to 5s on the Squat heavy days. Hopefully this Thursday the triples go well and can transition back to 5s then!

15 Oct:

Squat 105kg x 5 x 3
OHP 60kg x 5 x 4, 58.75kg x 5 x 1
Chins 5 x 8, 4 x 2

17 Oct:

OHP 68.75kg x 1 x 5 - PR
Squat 132.5kg x 3 x 2 - good depth on all reps, my knees caved in on the last rep of 2nd set which caused me to get off balance and the bar speed was strange and slow, will be more mindful of this. Probably can be considered as PR because my last 132.5kg for 5 was not at such consistent depth and knees were always caved in, now it feels a bit like a different exercise with my knees out. Glad the technique is getting better. Will be more mindful to keep knees out on heavy days, particularly on last reps I tend to default to my old habit of caving knees (probably subconsciously feels stronger).
BP 93.75kg x 3 x 3 - PR
Deadlift 132.5kg x 5 - PR (probably felt easier than last time)

Squat 120kg x 5 x 4
BP 86.25kg x 5 x 5

22 Oct:

Squat 105kg x 5 x 3
OHP 60kg x 5 x 5
Deadlift 135kg x 5 - PR

24 Oct:

Squat 135kg x 3 x 2 - Matched PR with better technique (knees out, deeper, more balanced)
OHP 70kg x 1 x 5 - PR
BP 95kg x 3 x 3 - PR
Chins 5 x 9, 4

That OHP weight was what I squatted 3 months ago, happy about that. Squat felt pretty good finally.

27 Oct:

Squat 122.5kg x 5 x 4
BP 87.5kg x 5 x 5
Deadlift 137.5kg PR

Not my best of workouts, came in tired, slept bad the night before. Squats were hard and my depth wasn't too consistent, hit or miss today.

And you still PRd your deadlift! Nice job, put this one behind you and crush the next one.
