Today's results:
A2G 5x5 @145
Flat Bench 5x5 @215
Bent Over Row 5x5 @105
Dips 3x10 @ bodyweight
Swiss Ball Crunch 3x10 @bodyweight + 35lb plate


Thoughts:
I needed a little more time between sets on squats but finished them out strong. Bench was great. By keeping a better, closer grip, I was able to avoid straining my left sholder/pec that I strained prior. I felt strong throughout, and my diet is coming back to where it needs to be.

I felt strong today. I need to purchase a pair of 40lb DBs, but will give the 45lb DBs that I have a shot on the incline curls next week.

A2G 5x5 @145
Incline Bench 5x5 @165
BB Shrugs 5x5 @135
DB Skullcrushers 3x8 @25
DB Oblique Side Lifts 3x8 @50

Thoughts:
Because of my hectic schedule on Thursday, I shifted to Friday. Overall I was tired as hell, comming off of a draining 52hr work week, but I stuck it out.

I couldn't go up 10lb on the DB Skulls, but will try again next week. I fucked up and didn't go up 10 on the BB Shrugs like I planned too.

Overall I'm happy with myself getting off da couch and pullin it through. Sleep now.

Is anybody watching this journal, if so, how do you rate my plan/progress?

Heavy!
Cleaning 150 to get into squat possition was hard. Bench was tough as well, but a personal best! I will keep the weight the same for bench as it was hard to push out the last rep on the last two sets, and without a spotter, I don't want to put a whole in my wall.

My left knee was sore due to straining it at basketball last night. I tried going up to 45 DB on the curls but couldn't get it with proper form. All else was good.

Already did on the flat bench & A2G squats. Considering that I was one of those folks which only went parallel on squats, before giving them up completly for dumb reasons, I feel as though I'm doing pretty good now.

Also, given that I was one of those pyrmaid lifters, that and a poor diet, kept me in the same rutt for a good 6yrs straight before I started to slack off completely.

Thursday results:
Incline Bench 5x5 @175
BB Shrugs 5x5 @155
DB Skullcrushers 3x8 @25
DB Oblique Side Lifts 3x8 @50
Lying incline DB Rows 3x8 @50

Thoughts:
Because of my left knee I felt it would be a good idea not to squat today, and may attempt it on Sunday. Even though I can't seem to go up 10lb yet on the DB Skulls, my tri's are def showing signs of improvement. I can actually see a little more definition in them.

The 5wk mark is comming up soon, and I'm wondering how to modify the program, or if it's necessary to do so yet.

A2G 5x5 @115 n

Bent Over Row 5x5 @115
Dips 3x10 @ bodyweight
Swiss Ball Crunch 3x10 @bodyweight + 45lb plate


Thoughts:
Reason for the drastic decrease on squats is because I felt it best to do so given my left knee. It is still a little weak, so I played it safe, but still wanted to get some work in.

Being that this is the last week of this 5wk loading phase, I will change up the plan and repost it for the de-loading phase. Any suggestions are welcome.
