I guess I'll give a self serving update here, its been a minute.

Wieghts wise I'm still moving the bar easily, here are the numbers for this past week (last sets only)

squat 235x5
Flat bench 265x5
Incline 225x5
Dead lift 290x5

I tweeked my back a little on deads the other day, I got sloppy on my last rep or two, but I dont see it being a problem. I'm obviously not happy with my numbers yet, but I'm still progressing slowly. Its hard to keep to this 5lbs a week setup, I'm gettin all antsy in the pantsy, I want to do more, but I know I gotta stick to the script.

I ran out of virtago this week, so i've switched up to gaterade powder until I can get some bulk wms. Other then that there isnt much to tell ...

except that I am one of two people i've ever seen in the new gym who actually uses the squat rack for squats. Its kind of depressing, even the big guys in the gym seem to be very weak, which confuses me. I am used to having guys next to me pushing wieghts that I can only dream of, and it kept me motivated ... now people look at me like i'm crazy for DLing 290, kinda akward.
