Thanks for the input pity and HIT. I don't think my calories are too terribly low and I try to keep a good protein intake, but I do need to be monitoring that more closely. By triples you mean some 3x3's instead? I'll look into that, if (when, probably) I switch to an endurance set I'll likely only do that for squats/DL's and probably throw a few more exercises in, like calf raises and hamstring curls. I'd keep a strength set for things like bench, rows, etc.
And yeah, I blame my other workouts (only a bit) for some of the slow size gains. I usually lift before workouts and only on the "light" (ha...) days, so usually energy isn't a problem. They are all pure catabolic hell though, unfortunately!

Moved to a 3x3 for squats, will do the same for bench monday

Forearm/wrist pain, so bi/tri work sucked

I missed Friday's workout, today was good. Ended up feeling real good during squats, and for the hell of it went for my 3x5 and did fine. Will keep the weight once more for form, which wasn't really too bad. That belt helps a lot.

Squats: 3x5 225 keep
Bench: 3x3 185 up 5 but mightmiss reps
DL: 325 keep and improve form
Pullups: 3x9 45 keep
Bi curl: 2x10 w/ 40 keep
Tri ext: 2x8 w/ 100 keep
Abs: done

Squat: 225 keep

Pullups haven't been progressing with the weights, might switch the program around a bit

	HIThopper's Sig:There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. Let me be clear here: if you'd rather take steroids than do your squats heavy and drink enough milk, then you are a Fucking Pussy. I have no time or patience for Fucking Pussies.
