Yeah, I did like 2 sets of air-squats, and 2 sets with the bar.
I'm def. going to cut down on the squat weight. What do you think about the other weights? Remember that I've been doing the bench 1 day a week for the last 3 months, albeit 2x12 at a lower weight.
Tim, Why did you quit after 12 weeks? What's your current program?

Bench may be high, you could have started at the 2x12 weight, and when you're increasing it 5 lbs every Bench workout, the weight goes up fast. Deadlift seems fine, you can probably go up by 10 lbs each for a long time. Military Press may be high to start with. If you start at 77, and 88 was hard, you won't be able to add weight for long unless you microload (I'm now down to adding 1 pound every two weeks on these).
Here's my
old log.
Once you stop being able to increase weights on squats and deadlifts every workout after several resets, it's time to move to a different program.
I'm currently doing a variation of the Texas Method from Practical Programming. I just changed to this after 10 weeks:
Week A:
Tues: Back Squat 5x5 / Military Press 5x5 / Assisted Hammer Grip Chin-ups 5x5
Thurs: Zercher Squat 3x3 / Bench Press 3x5 / Floor Barbell Rows 3x8-12
Sat: Back Squat 5RM / Military Press 5RM / Deadlift 5RM / Assisted Dips 3x8-12
Week B:
Tues: Back Squat 5x5 / Bench Press 5x5 / Assisted Wide Grip Pull-ups 5x5
Thurs: Zercher Squat 3x3 / Military Press 3x5 / Floor Barbell Rows 3x8-12
Sat: Back Squat 5RM / Bench Press 5RM / Deadlift 5RM / Assisted Dips 3x8-12
Instead of increasing every workout, the weight is increased week to week, or in the case of MP and BP, every two weeks.
I created a
new log on BB.com to build some post count there. Not even sure anyone reads it, but whatever.
