Weight: 163lbs
Exercise: current lift (max attempted)
Squat: 195 (195). Up 5lbs, i dropped to a 3x5. Since dropping to 3x5 what I've noticed is my muscles aren't as tight leading up to the next work-out. I can say I completed 195 twice, but I really hate the reps done on the 3rd set reps 4 and 5. I don't want to continue to up the weight and continually struggle to up the weight cuz it's just gonna kead to screwed up form down the road. Just going to go by "feel" and see what Sunday brings. I'll attempt 200 and see what happens since Sunday is best day.
Bench: 140 (140). I'm still struggling with this. Very annoyed.
Overhead Press: 100 (100). Completed 100lbs, let's see what happens on Sunday.
Pendlay Rows: 125 (125). Feel more comfortable with 125. Will move up to 130 next.
Deadlift: 265 (265). 265 completed 5 reps very nice.
I've pretty much come to the realization that gains will no longer be coming by the work out, and will be on a weekly basis or bi-weekly. With that being said, I decide to go for 5 months of Stronglifts before doing Wendler's 5/3/1 just because I'm going to be following the program to a T and the increases per month/cycle are 5 for bench & overpress and 10 for squat & deadlift and I feel I still have more to gain until I hit that point of smaller gains.
Since I am dropping to 3x5, I will be doing some acessory work. Following the ABA BAB routine.
A (bench/row day)- since I cannot do chin-ups, it will be curls and rear delt flies. As well as a second second of bench 3x10 at a lighter weight, slow and controlled. I did the extra bench today and for once in a long time, I really felt a stretch in my chest. Meaning, current bench is too heavy, load is alot on the shoulders/tricep on the working sets.
B (press/deadlift) - Not really too sure yet, but it will be lying leg raises on the bench to work the core or ab wheel, problem with ab wheel is that it used to wreck my shoulders and I don't want that to happen again even though I've really stepped up the shoulder/rotator cuff work then most likely good mornings to work the back.
