    5/6 Whatever

    Pause Squat 365x1x10
    Pause Bench 255x1x10
    Rows 205x3x10
    Grip stuff

    Exercise was done as a circuit, two minute rests in between. My gym was closed so I worked out in an older unused gym on campus (I work at a university). Bars felt more rigid than I was used to and the weights felt heavier. Plan on resuming my normal schedule on Monday.

    Felt gassed on squat and bench. May be a week or two until I can get to 5x5 with current weights. Plan on using pause reps (three second pause) on bench for a while.

    On the plus side this workout was an improvement from last week and 295x3 on bench is a pr, but that doesn't negate the fact that I am still struggling with weights I should be nailing. I'm going to give one more week to see how my body feels but if I have another poor showing I'm going to have to deload. Also plan on benching every volume/intensity day while leaving press on recovery day.

    Replaced Romanian deadlift with front squat from pins to help my deadlift from the floor and squat out of the hole. Plan on working up to two sets of six-eight reps.

    Learned that Front Squat from Pins is called Anderson Front Squat by literally everyone else. The inside of my right elbow has been bugging me for a while. It doesn't affect my ability to perform any lifts, but the set up can be painful, which is weird. Plan to see a doctor soon.

    Bench was good and bad; bad because I couldn't match last week's four reps at 295 but good because 315 is the most I've ever done.

    Anderson Front Squat 275x3x2
    Chin Ups BWx8x3 (used on bar to increase grip difficulty)

    405 for five sets of five has been a goal of mine for a while. Bar speed and overall tightness was solid but I need to focus on pushing my knees out out of the hole. They buckle just a little bit as soon as I start moving up. Dropped DB Bench in favor of a burnout set at the end of my pause bench reps.

    Wasn't feeling so hot so I lowered squat weight and cut out back extensions and grip work. Also missed my subsequent intensity day.

    6/20 Volume

    Squat 415x3x8
    Bench 275x3x7, 275x4 225x11
    Deficit Deadlift 315x6
    Towel Grip Pull Ups BWx6, BWx6x2

    Although I'd prefer to do five sets of five reps, I'm going to try to progress sets of three for a while. Squat was rough. Will be doing one-two sets of deficit deadlift for a few weeks to help with intensity day deadlift. I've felt weak off the floor since coming back from my break and my grip hasn't been up to par, which is part of the reason I'm messing with towel grip pull ups (throwing two towels on a pull up bar and holding onto one with each hand). To compensate for slightly lower pulling volume I'll be doing a few reps of pull ups spread throughout the week.

    6/24 Intensity

    Squat 460x2
    Bench 305x2
    Deadlift 535x1
    Pull Ups 45x4

    Looking at the last few weeks of training objectively I need a reset. However, because I'm stubborn as **** I'm going to keep grinding through terrible intensity days for another two weeks then reset my weights by 5-10% of my last five rep intensity day.

    6/27 Volume

    Squat 420x3, 420x2x2, 425x1, 430x1, 435x1, 440x1, 445x1
    Bench 280x3x8
    Deficit Deadlift 315x7
    Towel Grip Pull Ups BWx6x2, BWx5

    Mostly dicking around on squat. On Friday I'll just do some singles or maybe pr depending on how I feel. Looking at my journal I've wasted two months grinding out terrible volume days, and my reset will take about another month until I'm squatting pr numbers again. This is the first time I can remember when my bench is progressing better than my squat.

    As an aside, for intensity day deadlift I use mixed grip with chalk. These past two deficit deadlift sets have both been overhand grip with no chalk. I'd love to be able to build up the strength to utilize overhand for all my deadlift sets without relying on chalk but it's not a priority right now.

    Also on last volume day pull ups should have read BWx6, BWx5x2.

    7/4 Volume

    Squat 365x5x5
    Bench (two second pause all reps) 250x5x5
    Deficit Deadlift 295x8
    Pull Ups BWx7x2 Chin Ups BWx7x2
    Ab stuff

    Last two workouts were just all over the place so I decided to not include them. First set of squat the bar was moving pretty slow but sped up as I progressed, telling me I need to warm up better. Was on the fence as to whether I should reset bench as well or keep progressing 3s but decided to just reset. This time around I'll (try to) utilize pause reps on volume day and touch and go on intensity day. My five rep intensity bench days have been **** since forever so we'll see how far I can take this. Feeling optimistic about this reset. Hope to progress sets of five for a while and when the time comes to go to triples I'll have a smoother transition. Last few transition have been because I've failed to hit five reps rather than me planning on doing triples.

    7/8 Intensity

    Squat 410x5
    Bench 285x3x2
    Deadlift 495x5
    Chin Ups 25x6

    Squat form on my last two reps was pretty bad. Definitely could have got four reps on bench but knew the fifth would be iffy so I decided to just to two sets of three with a short (1-2 minute) break in between sets. Deadlift was best lift of the day. Grip felt strong and weight went up smooth.

    Deadlift 505x5
    Chin Ups 35x5
    Ab stuff

    Hips shot up a bit and my chest wasn't as upright as it should have been on last rep of squat but overall my form was alright. Deadlift bar speed was kind of slow but consistent each rep. For now I've given up on benching five reps on intensity day haha, I'll stick with two sets of three. Looking at my journal for a long time I would only do one set for a triple on intensity day; I'll see if adding one more set makes any difference. Regardless, two triples is how I should have been programming my triples anyways.
