Week Three: DF 5x5

Monday:

[5x5] Olympic Squats: 255
[5x5] Flat Bench: 285
[1x5] JS Rows: 295

-After each exercise per bodypart a loaded (DC) fascia stretch, each one running 60 seconds worth of pain.

- I was pressed for time so I had to bail before doing the skullcrushers..Not like I had to do them. Flat bench was strong as usual. I'm half tempted to bump up to 305 for my next 5 sets of 5. Squizots was very strong. I probably could've done 275 for all 5 sets, so I need to factor that in next week. JS Rows was also very good. Perfect form on my final set with 295..Which is a new PR [I think] from last time. I used a weight belt on that final set because I was getting a hot pain in my right side of my back. It's a lot of weight so I'm not very surprised about the pain. The JS Rows went: 225x5, 245x5, 265x5, 275x5, 295x5.

At this point I'm thinking about doing another 5x5 cycle after my deload. I can tell that either I'm gaining strength quick or I may have underestimated some weights->A2G squats especially.
