was today a light squat day? It's small compared to the deadlift.

If it's a light day, do you go light on everything else as well?

My squat is a lot smaller than my deadlift and this is a light day so both.

And no.

I'm gonna take a week to semi-unload. I was feeling tight and sore in my lower back Friday and my diet/recovery has been poor as I've been very busy. I moved my Friday workout to today and am then punting the rest of the week sans a max effort power clean session on Friday. Will start with week 4 next Monday.

Squat - 120/140/160/180/205/160
Bench - 100/120/135/155/175/135
Row - 90/105/120/135/155/120
Weighted Dips - 3x8x25
Barbell Curls - 3x8x55
Tricep Pressdown - 3x8x40

I'm going to move up the weight on the other lifts and lower reps to 3x5 for all. Weights were easy on S/B/R. I think I had a few more in the hole on most of the heavier sets barring the heaviest one. Squat has gotten nice and deep, I might try some stretching to help settle in deeper as I do feel a little tight and if I get almost ATG weight wants to shift forward on my feet.

Monday Oct 8

Squat - 125/145/165/185/205
Bench - 105/125/140/160/175
Row - 95/110/125/140/155
Hypers 2x9x30
Weighted Sit Ups 4x9x30

Felt [censored]. Did the workout way too fast. Almost failed last set of bench. Whatev. I need more Surge. I bought original formula and it tastes worse than dicks. Like stale dicks. Its haggard. On a more positive note all my squats except the first set are ATG (I use the first set as a warm up.) Choo?

I took one of those BP tests the other day. I assume flexing your forearm is not a positive thing while doing those... However, it did spit out 148/75 to me... So either I've made significant progress in dying the last 5 months or... It just sucked. I think I will hold off on efforts to keep myself from dying just yet. Maybe next year during a physical if its still a shade high I'll pick up daily cardio.

[Thremp]

Original Surge tastes like [censored]. I'm positive.

Squat - 125/145/165/165
OH Press - 80/90/105/115
Deadlift - 230/260/285
3x20 Situps

Missed the first set on Deads, whatev. All is well. Diet sucks. [censored] two large cheese pizzas for 8.75 at hungry howies. GL saying no. I did weigh in at 175 though I'm looking pleasantly plump as well (relatively speaking of course). I might have to start dieting earlier. Whatev.

Visitor from out of town skipped Friday workout. I have a somewhat cold. My glands are swollen but I'm not really coughing. Nose is a little stuffy so I could probably use the time off.

Squat - 125/145/165/185/210/165
Bench - 105/125/140/160/180/140
Row - 95/110/125/140/160/125
Dips - 3x5x30
Curls - 3x8x60
Tricep - 3x8x50

Felt really strong. Surge tastes gross.

Weight: 177

I have not been taking creatine. Looks like results oriented I could used the time off. I'll be taking a couple weeks off in ~2 weeks so I can afford a little overtraining atm.

You're doing madcow's intermediate 5x5 right?

If possible, could you label each workout? It seems like this is the third workout, correct? Or is it the first? wondering what that sixth set is doing there.
