Thursday September 13th
Weighted Chin-Up
BWx5
40x5x3
First set went up very easy, felt like I had an easy 5.
DB Row
60x5x10
Didn't do them slow and controlled today. I'm used to not heaving it up with my hips now, so I'm speeding it up to push the weight for awhile.
Barbell Shrug
145x5x12
Probably too aggressive an increase.

Saturday September 15th
Squat
95x5
135x5
185x2
205x1
230x3x5
Moderately difficult, felt like I might have had 7-8 reps on the last set.
Bench Press
45x10
95x5
135x5
175x3x5
Felt retardedly heavy, I doubt I could have gotten 185x5. Fuck.
Up to 178 today, but I swear I measured my waist 3/4" smaller. Probably didn't have the tape in the right spot though.

95x5

I was positive I was going to fail the first set, 45x10 made my arms burn and 135 felt heavy, but for some reason it went up damn easy.

Friday September 21st
Weighted Chin-Up
42.5x5x3
Not only was this easy again, but I now have pronounced seperation between my biceps and my triceps, unflexed (and cold). Good stuff, good stuff.
DB Row
65x5x10
Kind of hard.
Barbell Shrugs
150x5x12
This was much, much easier.

Saturday September 22nd
Squat
95x5
135x5
185x3
220x1
240x3x5
This was fairly hard, which isn't too surprising considering I've dropped 6 pounds since Tuesday. I wonder if cycling my calories on a daily basis instead of weekly would cause less ups and downs in performance. I'll give it a few weeks and see what happens, maybe it will work out.
Press
45x9
75x5
95x1
110x3x5
10 minutes rest for the 3rd set, 2nd was a ball buster. Definitely time to microload.
Eating maintenance today though, too damn hungry.
