Pretty much started the deload on everything else today. Felt alright overall.

Squats
bar x 5 (warmup)
135lbs x5 (warmup)
165lbs x3 (weight acclimation)
185lbs x1 (weight acclimation)
200lbs 2x5 (work set)

These felt pretty good. Pushed em out without too much trouble. Focused on keeping solid form.

Standing Military Press
45lbs x 5 (stretch)
65lbs x 3 (warmup)
85lbs x 1 (weight acclimation)
105lbs 2x5 (work sets)

Well I think the reset on these will be a great idea. Finally the bar speed comes back up to normal and I don't feel like I'm going to die every rep. lol

Deads
40kg x 3 (warmup)
60kg x 2 (warmup)
80kg x 1(weight acclimation)
115kg x 3 (work set)

My back must *still* be tired from last week. I guess I didn't rest too much this weekend. Partied a little too hard. My form suffered even on this light weight. Hopefully I'm good to make the next weight. Kinda worried here.


Pull ups
BW+ 10lbs - 2x5

These felt really nice. Finally got the squeeze at the top on every rep. Going to be doing 2.5lb increments here now until I reach my highest 3x5 then switch back to 3x5 and hope to keep right on moving.


Standing Calf Raises
90lbs x 8 (warmup)
180lbs x 8 (warmup)
260lbs 3x10


Trying some different foot positions to see if maybe my leg will feel better. I get this shin splint kinda pains in my right leg.

Thoughts,

Well I'm feeling that this deload is going to help out in the long run but it feels like such a set back. We're trying to work back up to our previous weights so we can do a max day at the end of November just before we start our new cutting diet.
