Squats A2G --------------- 3x5 135 lbs
Military Press -------------- 3x5 133 lbs
Rows ---------------------- 3x5 130 lbs

Chin-ups ------------------- 1x8 1x5

Notes:

I had to miss yesterday's workout because I donated blood. So I'll be off schedule for a few days.

I'm back to Squatting. I'm starting with low weight and doing them A2G. I wasn't sure if I was going to do actual working sets tonight, but I felt OK after my warmup sets. And I'd been practicing A2G without any weight all week, so I went for it. They were harder than I thought they would be, probably a combination of not doing them for a long time and doing them A2G.

I just reset my Deadlift and Squat. I reset my Bench, Military, and Row a few weeks ago after I took time off, and I'm nearing my potential again for these. I'm thinking I may soon have a mixed workout where I'm progressing each workout for Squats and Deads, but weekly for BP, MP, and Rows. Is that how it usually works, a weekly routine for some and workout to workout for others, or is it recommended to stick with one routine and change everyting all at once?

For the past few weeks, I've also been doing easy back stretches daily and core work on lifting days after my workout. If I made one mistake when starting, it was neglecting my core, especially stretching. I actually made another big mistake, namely Squat and Deadlift technique. I should have started A2G and I should have learned more about Deadlift technique.
