Messed around with a few things today. Magically learned how to low bar squat after a year of never being able to get into position. Maybe shoulder dislocations helped or having big traps now? Bench didn't feel strong today, but it was also one of the few times i've benched in the squat rack so it felt very awkward.
Got two days off from work so I'm going to be lazy and eat all day since the wife is at work.trying to get strong again

Pretty cool that you figured out the Low Bar. It is a lot easier when you actually have a back to rest the bar on. In my gym, either people do some messed up "mid" bar (wtf?) or total High Bar (incorrectly). It's hard to watch.
Are you going to switch to Low Bar or stay with high?My log http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=149523363

Ugh, I hate benching in the power rack. There's something oddly calming about squatting in the rack and pressing out in the open. It shouldn't make a difference but for me it totally does.
In 2006 I was a Starting Strength success story, gaining 30 pounds of muscle and hitting 400/300/500 over seven months. Then excuses happened and my interests shifted. I made a pathetically short-lived attempt at a comeback eight months later, but that didn't last. That was nearly six years ago. I'm now 27 and am back for another shot at things. Follow my log and watch me (hopefully) get hella strong again!

I'm a creature of habit. If one small thing change it will completely throw me off. When I used to be amazing at Halo 2 I would go to tournaments and get stomped by people I would have wrecked online because I wasn't comfortable.
Honeybadger, I won't be switching to LB anytime soon. When I deload I might change.trying to get strong again

There's not much to it. It talks about adding singles to 5/3/1. Basically after your work sets, you hit a single at your training max, which is 90% of your 1RM. I thought about doing that on intensity day, adding a single at my workset weight plus about 20 lbs. I doubt I'll do it now since I've switched to triples on ID. 3RM is basically 90% of 1RM, so under that concept, I'd just be doing a single at the same weight as the triple I just did.

Longest deadlift set ever haha. Squats were a bit high, but looked pretty damn easy. I definitely prefer to bench or press between squats and deadlifts to break it up and give your lower half a chance to cover a little bit.

Great day, squats were just ridiculously easy. I'll have the video up later. Working on RDLs, I started doing them with conventional stance so I took a ton of videos to work on form, i've almost got them down I think.
Bench was ok, 215x2 was a 9RPE but so was 205x2 which I found odd. Through in a complex I made up on the spot to get some extra volume, tricep work and work on bench conditioning.
I'm happy.trying to get strong again

technique, lets see dat form man you prob got some pounds in the tank from better form is this is the case. sounds like you muscle'd the 215 up
did not see a RDL just a deadlift looks a bit stiff legged.
RDL is not from the floor, deadlift it to lockout bring it down to like knee level and come back up no touching the floor. kinda like this

Nice job on the VD squats. I love RDL's, really hammer the hammies hard if you do them right.

You really fly into the hole on those squats. Do you feel like you have total control on your way down?

Yeah I feel pretty safe doing it. When I descend slower it makes the weight feel heavier. I've got a very strange way of squatting, I use high bar yet a wide stance.
This probably comes from me switching to oly squats last year for 3 months.
Still in shock at the speed on my volume sets, going to set my yearly goals since I'm finally confident in my squats again.
Looking to hit 465/275/560 or 1300. 200lbs on my total this year, time to get to work!trying to get strong again
