had a late start for school today, so i got to sleep in a bit. (which means 8.5 hours..  ) had to terminate a set one rep early on squats-wasn't sure i could make it, though i went the full 5 in my final set, so cross off that goal. presses are getting there; very gradually. i kept the weight lower on rows since i'm trying to get a better feel for using the barbell.
Tuesday:-4x5, 1x4 back squat loads: 135-185-235-245(4)-245 -5x5 barbell row loads: 155x3x5-165-165 -3x5, 2x3 db press loads: 70-80-90-100(3)-100(3)
Short Term Goals:5x275 back squat 5x275 deadlift 5x100 db press 5x+40 dips 5x180 db row |

progress still holding steady. I've decided that i will be throwing weighted pull ups into the mix on tuesdays, while doing barbell rows on thursday and saturday from now on.
Deadlifts felt great form wise; everything was tight and opened together. bar never floated away. my grip is definitely improving-a couple weeks ago i had a little trouble holding 255, but today 265 felt ok. I'd also like to add that my 225 wu really felt like a warm up. dips were feeling pretty good, and rows are improving.
Thursday:
-5x5 deadlift
loads: 135-225-265x3x5
-5x5 bb row
loads: 155-160-165x3x5 (will probably stick at this next time before trying for more weight)
-5x5 dips
loads: bw-20-25-30-30
-2x15 face pulls (8.5 plates)
Short Term Goals:
5x275 back squat
5x275 deadlift
5x100 db press
5x+40 dips
5x175 bb row

rest today. after tuesday's workout, i won't be able to lift again until saturday because i will be driving to Wisconsin to take a look around the campus and visit my cousin. So instead of two squat days, i'll just do one squat, one deadlift. And i would like to note that, when i started this linear progression, when my body recovered the next day, i would see more (relative term here) facial hair. As time has passed, there has been a smallish amount of that, but my chest, which had very, very little hair before, has gotten downright fluffy compared to what it was previously.  Monday:rest |

good workout today. accidentally made a 20# jump on squats because i was distracted, yet i managed to get all 5 reps; so a pleasant surprise. i backed down 10# after. Also, i did dips instead of presses today, as i ended up tweaking my right upper trap when i cracked my neck this morning. it still hurts a bit. my trip to madison is coming at the right time, as deadlifting will be difficult if i have to deal with this.
Tuesday:
-5x5 back squat
loads: 135-185-245-265-255
-5x5 bb row (these felt pretty fast throughout)
loads: 155-155-165x3x5
-5x5 dips (getting some air on bw ones)
loads: bw-20-25-30-30
Short Term Goals:
5x275 back squat
5x275 deadlift
5x100 db press
5x+40 dips
5x175 bb row
