  • W4:
    • D4:
      • It’s 8:30 pm right now, so won’t be at my best.
      • Squats: +1 but barely made the last one.
      • Deadlift:
        • Warm up to 5 reps of 165.
        • 4 at 175, 185.
        • 3 at 195.
        • 2 at 205 but gonna stop at that.
    • D3:
      • +2 on bench. I could have gotten 1-2 more.
      • +1 on squats.
    • D2:
      • Deadlift: will work at 70% of 175 = 125.
      • +1 on bench.
    • D1:
      • +1 on bench and squats. The latter were bit difficult.
  • W3:
    • D4:
      • Start time: in excel?
      • +2 on squats.
      • Sumo start weight: 135.
    • D3:
      • 7 on bench! Same on squats but the former was a bigger deal.
      • 3x8 bench OHP with 45.
      • It’s time to find accessories for at least some of the days. Sometimes, I finish my major sets early and have time to spare.
        • Will start workout time too next time on.
    • D2:
      • 8 on bench!
      • Deadlift:
        • Max 5 of 165.
    • D1:
      • 9 on squats. The last 1-2 were hard but I could do them with good form.
      • Same on bench.
  • W2:
    • D4:
      • 5 on squats.
      • Gonna start with 135 for sumo deadlift. I wasn’t able to add more weights after that though, so it was probably on the higher side.
    • D3:
      • 8 on squats.
      • Still feeling bench presses in my biceps, but only until the 2nd set. 3rd was good and I got 6 there!
        • Next time, remember to bring hands towards the middle of the chest so that my hands are perpendicular to the body.
      • 6 dead hangs.
    • D2:
      • 7 on bench.
      • 3 on dead hangs.
      • I should our columns for warm up weights in my Google sheet.
      • Deadlift:
        • Max 5 of 155, same as previous week workout.
    • D1:
      • Back after 2 weeks or so. Excited!
      • 8 on bench and 9 on squats.
      • 6 dead hangs.
  • W1:
    • D4:
      • 7 on bench, that’s a lot!
      • Sumo 1x6 at 140 but used 135 for the next. (Didn’t have solid 2-3 reps at the end of the first set.)
    • D3:
      • Amazon Music’s workout playlist sucks. Back to Spotify just after a few minutes.
      • 6 on bench! 7 on squats.
      • 6 dead hangs.
    • D2:
      • Form declaring on bench.
      • 8 on bench but not all reps were probably clean.
      • Deadlift: max 5 at 155.
    • D1:
      • Barely managed 9 on bench but with good form. So, can increase weight next week.
      • Exactly same for squats.
      • 6 dead hangs.
