MF I didn't want to put all this in the PR sticky so I thought it would be appropriate here. You've mentioned the exertional headaches several times. I wanted to mention that this is usually a self limited thing for most everyone, especially after appropriate changes are made like stopping the practices that trigger them. But this kinda sounds chronic for you. I don't know if you've been to a doc but it may be good not to assume the "benign" part of it until you get checked out given the ongoing nature of it.

But I'm just assuming by what you've said. For all I know this is something that recently started up and you are just trying to get past it.

It's obviously volume related a lot of the time. One thing that makes a different on any exercise where your body goes up and down, so obviously squats, is not to go up and down to fast . So slow it down a bit if you haven't already. Some quick breaths at the top of the squat before you get ready for the next rep can help a lot.

If you are going to put in deads and snatches then I would suggest not doing wrist roller as often. There is a such thing as overtraining your grip and you could find yourself having too fatigued a grip for those pulls. I really, really wholeheartedly suggest not doing the neck harness thrice a week.

You should substitute dumbell OHP's for one of those military presses and I agree that bench, then incline, then ohp may not be such a great idea.

Why aren't you doing any pullups? You've got pulldowns in there twice. Pulldowns are easy. You don't strike me as a guy who wants everything to be easy

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
