set a new PR for squats tonight woo hoo! and i have no doubt i coulda done 10lbs more at least with out a problem as i had plenty of gas in the tank after each set of 5 so yay for me!

bench press went good too but i have had to drop chins to just 3 sets of 5 with b/w to let this forearm strain heal.

last monday i weighed in at about 154lbs and so now i'm squatting more than my b/w which is very cool

next week is another deload and then that will be 10 weeks of consistent training and eating. i checked back in my training log of 2008 and there was not one single instance of even 5 weeks of steady training, nevermind 10! last year was a truly lost year for me as far as the gym goes.
so after the deload i'll keep on with the linear but i dont think i can plan for "x" amount of weeks for loading then a deload anymore, i'll have to play it by ear from here on in. i'd love to nab another 4 weeks of loading though!

we'll see
