I've always found that it takes me several sessions of heavy squats to go up in weight significantly after a layoff, while for deadlifts I can usually get back to a heavy weight after only a couple of sessions. If the other sets were light then you should be able to move up in weight quickly I think.

Ya I'm basically doing this weird thing where I'll either hit a top set of 3 or 5 for my heavy squat day, and then do sets of 8-10 on the other day with lighter weight, and try to slowly add weight to everything every 3-4 weeks. Similar idea on bench, just slow sort of weird progression, seems to be working somewhat? Idk, it's at least fun and doable while cutting.

135 x 8
175 x 5
205 x 5

Changed things up a bit with tonight's push hyper session:
7/27/18 - Push
Bench, feet up and slightly narrower grip than normal, touch and go
Bar x 2 x 15
95 x 8
135 x 6
185 x 5
205 x 6, 8, 8, 8, 7, 8, 8 (53 total reps @ 205)
Single-arm DB Shoulder Press
40 x 12 seated
50 x 12 standing
40 x 12 seated
Incline Hammer-strength Machine, 1 arm at a time
1 plate x 2 x 10
SS w/
Flies
25 x 2 x 15 (one set on cables, one set on incline bench w/ 25lb kettlebells)
Decline Bench
155 x 20 (Friend was doing it and I decided to try it for a set, lol)
Single-arm Shoulder Press with Cables, trying to mimic a behind-the-neck movement
50 x 2 x 12
Great session, really enjoyed it. For bench, I wanted to try and do 50 reps at 205 - I did 225 for a 3 x 10 a month or so ago and that was a lot of volume for me, I figure a fun way to add volume is just to pick a weight and a number of target reps that would be a relative overload and get there in however many sets it takes.
Golfing in the morning so I decided to skip triceps tonight and do them tomorrow along with back, bis, rear delts, and traps. Might even do some deadlifts or block/rack pulls if I'm feeling up to it but idk, we'll see.Boston - UMass - Sales brah

Finally done travelling and/or going to weddings for a while! Hallelujah
Montreal was ****ing sick though - I did find a great gym too, run by this older bodybuilder guy who took a lot of pride in his place. It was called Gym Saint Sauveur, highly recommend it if you're ever in the area. Also managed to get 3 real sessions in, and ate relatively well the entire time, which was great. Still classic bloat from the wedding on Saturday, woke up at 229.8 yesterday and back to 225.0 today. Time to press on to 215 and then to 205 now that these god damned trips are done!
Highlights from recent lifts:
225 x 10, 235 x 10 touch and go bench in Albany on Saturday 8/18
Hitting 3 x 12 dips with relative ease on my last upper day, feltgoodman
Logging last nights lift now that I am back home for the foreseeable future:
8/20/18 - Legs
High Bar Squat
Warmups
45 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 3

275 x 10 - Matches PR I haven't hit in 4.5 years! Ass to grass high bar this time, lol. Very happy with this
205 x 10 backoff set
Hack Squats
1 plate x 12
2 plates x 10
1 plate x 2 x 10
Hamstring-focused Back Extensions (not sure what actual thing is called, basically a GHR style back extension)
Bw x 12
Bw x 10 - These are ****ing killer, adding these in for the next few months
That was it, aside from maybe 10 total reps of bodyweight lunges. Hit the sauna for a while after this and then went home lol. ****ing gassed from that 275 x 10 top set, very happy though.
Upper tonight should be funBoston - UMass - Sales brah

Solid upper workout Tuesday I forgot to log, then got food poisoning yesterday, was bloated for a few days even though I wasn't eating much. Stayed home from work yesterday with typical food poisoning issues lol... ended up hitting legs at like 6pm but I couldn't squat so I deadlifted and did 3 sets of accessory movements. Hardly ate also, no appetite until later in the day.
At any rate, new weigh in low this morning: 221.8
Feeling much better today, think I got everything out of my system lol. Excited for a chest/back session tonight! Will log this oneBoston - UMass - Sales brah

Well, I lied, but highlights from the last few lifts lol:
Bench on Friday: 275 x 1 paused felt pretty slow/heavy, so i decided to do an amrap touch and go set at 225 and hit
225 x 12 - PR!
Followed up with 205 x 2 x 8 feet up, and some plate-loaded pressing (I believe it was 2 plates for 2 x 12)
Also did shoulders, more chest, and triceps
Saturday - Back, biceps, some rear delts. No real highlights to speak of.
222.2 weigh-in this morning, pretty strong calories this weekend but no boozing or anything. Excited to continue trending downward over the next few weeks.Boston - UMass - Sales brah

Starting to follow the Renaissance Periodization general bodybuilding template to structure my workouts, with a few alterations - Namely spreading out some of the upper body work to accomodate a 5x/week schedule rather than 4x/week, and adding a few sets here and there for direct arm work.
First workout with the RP template last night, felt good! I'm selecting high bar squats, incline bench, and neutral grip pulldowns for my main lifts.
8/28/18 - Upper - Week 1 of Basic Hypertrophy Block
Incline Bench
45 x 12
95 x 8
135 x 8
155 x 3 x 12 (Target RPE 7.5, most exercises are using about 85% of my 10rm this week)
Dips
BW x 12
15lb DB x 12
15lb DB x 10
DB Flat Bench
85 x 11
85 x 10
85 x 9 - First exercise that I felt some fatigue hitting, RPE 8.5
Plate-loaded Row
80lb per side x 12
80lb per side x 10 (Somewhat fatigued)
Lat Pulldown
140 x 10
140 x 8 (Fairly fatigued at this point)
Biceps
4-5 sets of 8-10 between BB and seated DB curls
DB Upright Rows
35 x 12
35 x 10
Tricep Rope Pushdowns
2 sets of 15 light weight
Good workout, sticking around 2000 calories and 200 protein, weight for this week is trending just over 222.Boston - UMass - Sales brah

Solid sessions, notably harder than last week with the added 4th sets on lots of movements. The way the template works I think I'll end up hitting 4 sets again next week - This week was difficult enough so that next week likely won't push much harder, but we'll see.
Weight sitting just over 221, should break under 220 soon!Boston - UMass - Sales brah

And we're back, apparently
Cliff notes: Squatted 405 2 weeks ago!! Pumped brahs. New goal is to hit 500. Didn't honestly think I would ever hit 405 again but it wasn't all that hard after all, so let's push it.
Current bw: 238ish
Goals: Continue to push PL total (current maxes from tests in October are 405 sq, 285 comp bench, 500 deadlift but I can push deadlift higher if I train it) and to get down to ~12-14% Bf (probably ~215 lb).
Current split is 3x/week squatting on Kaizen's protocol, doing my own upper body programming:
Monday: Squat 1
Tuesday: Upper
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Squat 2
Friday: Push
Saturday: Squat 3 and Pull
Sunday: Off
